Name: Marika

Pronouns: She/Her

Planning in advance the overall picture of the work, and as I go along, I break it into smaller parts and explore different ideas.
Small Steps: To avoid feeling overwhelmed, I divide big tasks into smaller, doable pieces.
Use Bullet Points: I find that writing information in a list helps me learn better.
Quiet and Small Groups: I work best in calm, cozy settings or with a few people around.
Solo Learning Time: Before working with others, I like to understand and practice new things by myself because I'm a slow thinker and learner.
Set Deadlines: I make clear timelines to manage my time effectively

I like share tasks equally and communicate beforehand. Put everything in a to-do list before working together help me organise the workflow within a team
I don't like to take the lead (probably because it was my job before) but please use me for organising tasks and moderate the group dynamic

I like direct communication.
Speaking aloud can help me to think.
During discussions, you'll often find me taking notes to ensure I capture important information.

Kindness.
A positive, open environment where people are friendly, supportive, and patient.
Ensuring everyone feels heard and valued

I am not the quickest person when it comes to processing a large amount of information all at once. Please be aware that when you speak with me, it may take me a little longer than others to process what you say.

I prefer receiving feedback directly in person and then summarising it in writing.
