Her Interview

Ten minutes with Briana

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to myself because I have put in a lot of work, being bold, not afraid to ask questions and put myself out there. Building relationships has been key, and people who supported me and gave opportunities even when I was fresh out of college. Penn State and my old professor also provided resources.

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

It's not always what you know, it's who you know. Build relationships and foundational connections. Also, don't be afraid to pivot, don't put yourself in one box, be resourceful with transferable skills especially in this economy.
