#GEA2: Corporate Ethics Statement
Professional Ethics Statement (GEA#1)
In a snap, I think my work-life values encompass integrity, trustworthiness, adaptability, responsibility, and dependability. Integrity and reliability are essential because they lead to honest and professional relationships within work environments. I find adaptability vital because it enables me to work in different environments and diverse teams. Dependability implies that team members can rely on me to take responsibility for my share of work and offer support. Taking responsibility is what makes an individual dependable. I intend to harness the power of these values to navigate the professional journey. It will also assist in maintaining good relationships with my professional acquaintances.

I have been a dependable member in all group projects throughout my educational career, always being honest about what I can deliver with short timelines.
