Her Interview
Ten minutes with Britni
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my upbringing. I definitely did not grow up in an affluent household, and I watched my mom, who was a single mom, work really hard, labor-intensive jobs to put food on the table. My mom was a huge inspiration to me, but seeing her struggle made me want to push that much harder to be successful from a very young age.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I think I would say don't be scared to jump into something that you don't know anything about, because that was my experience. I thought population health sounded cool on paper, but I really had no idea what I was doing. But the cool part has been that as I have been learning and continue to learn, everyone else is too. And it's allowed me to really kind of become a subject matter expert in my field, even though I started off really not knowing what in the world I was doing.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I am a life-long learner, and I always seek to add new skills or experiences to my life, both personally and professionally. When I am passionate about something, there is nothing that can stop me from pursuing it.
