Phan: Our team is filled with different people. Each person has a unique personality and character. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as everyone brings something new to the table. It’s always a joy to interact with my teammates as each conservation is nothing like the one before. But what makes me love this team is our competitive nature. We don’t shy away from our competition but rather face it straight on. It’s not every day that you get to see this competitive fire from a team.
