    “What makes Davis+Gilbert such an amazing place to work is that you matter in every way. Not only are you given significant responsibility to manage a project, but partners also want to hear your perspective on how you think they should handle an issue. Giving me responsibility early on helped develop my skillset and knowing that my input is always valued gave me the confidence to think outside the box.”
