Her Interview

Ten minutes with Annie

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to a combination of staying patient-centered, persistence, being open to feedback, knowing what I don't know, and keep showing up even when the work is difficult.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

Leave work at work and home at home.

We work so we can live, not the other way around.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

You are farther along than you think. Take chances and opportunities despite your fear. Push through the discomfort.

04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?

Everyone is trying their best given the circumstances they are in.
