Her Interview
Ten minutes with Analia
01What do you attribute your success to?
Belief in myself. That's the biggest thing. I believe that anything is possible, that's like my mantra for life. And I believe that anybody can achieve whatever their hearts and their minds desire. And so I just have a really deep belief in who I am, and I never stop growing. I can always learn from someone or something, or a book. I also believe in opportunities, so that's just kind of how I see the world in general.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
You have to ask for what you want, and if you don't open your mouth and say what you want, you're never gonna get what you want. Also, be yourself and showcase your skill set, and never be ashamed of it, and always know that there's room for me in the table. We can do anything as women.
