Her Interview
Ten minutes with Annie
01What do you attribute your success to?
Being reached out to by someone in talent acquisition who believed in me impacted me greatly, and I've tried to pay that forward with candidates. Playing college sports taught me grit and determination. Having had cancer twice at a young age taught me how important benefits are, which I'm passionate about educating younger hires on.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
It's pretty rare to end up in the career path you thought you were going to start in. I've had my career transition multiple times. Be open, take that chance, try a new role. The path is not linear, it's okay to pivot sometimes.
