What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my dogged work ethic and my ability to collaborate. I will bring others in and work together with them. I think collaboration is really important to what I do.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've ever received is to brag, or to say it nicer, to take credit for your accomplishments. That's really what it is. I haven't always followed it, but it is important. It's the lesson that keeps repeating itself, and I'll finally learn that lesson one day.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is simple: own your achievements. Don’t shy away from giving yourself credit for the work you do—be confident in highlighting your successes. That acknowledgment is not only empowering, it’s essential for your growth and recognition in your career.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
We're in a deeply polarized nation right now, and what a lot of people don't realize is that polarization isn't just between parties, it's also within parties. Most people hear about the extremes, but in both parties, there are people who run a spectrum. Trying to wrangle that spectrum is a challenge. So I would just say the polarization is the biggest challenge.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that guide me in both my work and personal life are integrity and honesty above all. I am deeply committed to civic participation, including exercising the right to vote, and I believe in the power of collaboration and maintaining a strong work ethic in everything I do.
