Nadya Mason, a dean and physicist, discusses the skills she uses daily in her job, emphasizing problem-solving and the ability to look at things as systems of equations.
She enjoys the wide impact of her job, particularly in making a difference in the lives of students and the wider community through outreach.
However, the challenge of managing limited resources and finding the right allocation of tasks can be frustrating.
Reflecting on her career, Mason wishes she had known earlier the importance of building relationships and working with people to solve problems.
