Behind the Scenes at InStride

According to Sofia Ruiz Blake, InStride isn’t just a group of colleagues — it’s a true team. “From the top down, everyone is invested in each other’s success and dedicated to helping them reach their goals,” she said. Teamwork plays a pivotal role in employees’ day-to-day work, especially when it comes to tackling large-scale projects. Yet for Ruiz Blake, the greatest moments of success come from team members supporting each other personally, whether they’re encouraging each other or celebrating milestones. “It’s moments like these that make me proud to be a part of a team that truly cares about each other,” she said.

Danea Al-Tikriti said collaboration is at the heart of InStride, encouraging teammates to help each other drive progress — and grow professionally. She has embraced her chances to level up, including through the company’s training program, which was essential in helping her understand how the organization operates. Al-Tikriti has also attended several lunch-and-learns, where she’s learned about various topics, such as pipeline management. “By utilizing these resources, I’ve been able to contribute to InStride’s success and take my career to the next level,” she said.
