What has been the most rewarding part of your career working in Digital Services?
Why is the digital services practice area important for Matrix?
As an environmental and engineering firm, nearly everything we do revolves around data. Timely, trusted information is really at the heart of much of our work. As Digital Services professionals we bring innovative solutions to how we collect, manage, interpret and visualize data. Matrix has always embraced technology and really prides itself on continuously innovating.
What advice can you provide for someone who wants to pursue a career in digital services?
The obvious, and absolutely true advice, is to never stop learning. Digital technology changes so quickly that you need to stay on top of it. Don’t be afraid to say “yes” to assignments that might push you out of your comfort zone. They’re usually a great way to develop your skills, expand your network and build confidence.
