Her Interview
Ten minutes with Alexandria
01What do you attribute your success to?
Community has been central to my growth. I have learned and grown through lessons taught by schoolmates, teachers, mentors, family, and friends. All my personal, professional, and academic lessons come from my community.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
My finance professor advised that quality is brevity. The person who knows what they're talking about provides support or answers concisely and clearly without drawing it out. This observation has really stuck with me.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Learning how to listen is one of the strongest and most productive skills you can have in communication. Asking questions is key in that.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Mobility is a big challenge. I work for a company with great retention and employee ownership, but there's less upward mobility. In the broader market, job mobility is limited, making it hard for enthusiastic people in their late 20s to move into roles with more responsibility. My MBA program and its connections are helping me pursue that mobility.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Honesty is pivotal, being transparent and open to ensure all parties understand how everyone is working together. Respect and meeting people where they are at is key for productive conversations. Balance is also important, allowing space to be both a professional and a human while maintaining autonomy and selfhood.
