Her Interview
Ten minutes with Anna
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think a big part of it comes from curiosity. I’ve never wanted to limit myself to one path or one definition of what my career should look like. I’ve tried different things, met people from very different backgrounds, and allowed each experience to shape what came next. I think staying curious and open to change creates opportunities you might never have planned for.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
“Just start.” I used to spend a lot of time thinking about whether something was the right decision. At some point, I realized that you can learn much more by actually doing something than by thinking about it endlessly. You can always adjust your direction once you start moving.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don’t wait for someone to tell you that you’re ready. If you have an idea, an opportunity, or something you really want to try, take the first step. You will probably learn a lot along the way, and that’s completely okay. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin.
