Her Interview
Ten minutes with Analeise
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my family and to God. Because they're honestly the people who push me to do what I do. They inspire me and set good examples. So, that's who I would attribute.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've received is that you have to learn what you do. If you really enjoy it, and it's something that you're passionate about, then you'll never get tired of it, and it won't feel like a job, you know? It'll feel like something nice and rewarding.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
It could be nerve-wracking, but if you just step a little bit out of your comfort zone. You actually build more skills at a younger age, and that prepares you for when you get a little bit older, and there's probably gonna be nerve-wracking or unfamiliar environments, but… Kind of just pushing yourself to do something that you normally wouldn't kind of prepares you for when you're older, and it makes you… feel less nervous and you learn how to navigate different situations.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Honestly, just respect. Because… In my personal life, obviously, the people that I surround myself with we reciprocate, like, that respect, you know, and that, integrity. And again, with… work, too. I think that kind of ties in. That's a common theme in both my personal and professional life.
