Her Interview
Ten minutes with Beverly
01What do you attribute your success to?
My parents. My mom always said work hard if that's how you're gonna achieve everything. My dad said work hard but have fun. Be straight with people. Pray every day.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be strong. You're going to run into obstacles. Do not let any obstacles stop you because you can be successful as long as you don't let anybody else persuade you that you're not going to be successful. Get your master's and Ph.D. or whatever field she's going in.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Capacity and the challenges of the economy. The fuel surcharge is affecting everybody because the diesel prices are probably double what they used to be last year.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity. Dedication to do a good job every day.
