I feel like I am still growing in my career, I feel like I have not reached the pinnacle yet, and I say that because, for me, it's touching lives. And I always thought that success was a title, but it's not. It's more how many lives that you can touch that could you could relate to. And the older I get, the more about success. It's just success in people, you know? Making sure that they're giving out the right word, or you're encouraging someone not to give up, because again, the industry of sports is hard, because there are people who may not be as strong as you, but just to have that sense of hope is something that I encourage myself every day to kind of be a best leader I could be.

The best advice I've received is would be Always be yourself. Always, make connections, network, network, network. Because in this industry, it is all about relationships, so building that relationship, connection with people, but also being your authentic self, because people can tell when you are not genuine, and I feel like that can just, literally change the perceptive of people and your opportunities to grow in your career if you're not authentic. So I would just say my advice that I've received is always be yourself, be authentic, and just Go out there and try to conquer the world.

I would say, never give up, always be curious, be your authentic self. And just go for it. Don't even think about it, just go for it. even, I mean, fear sometimes creeps in on all of us. But try to motivate yourself as best you can. dive into whatever field you are, do your research, and reach out to other women or other people that may be that will be able willing to help you grow in that, in this industry. Just keep your head up, and just keep going. Never give up.

The biggest challenge is Being able to lean on someone who may have been here for 20-something years, and you're a young person coming in, and They don't like to change as much. So, it's, it's been very challenging, but for me, I've worked with different older people, And just, I feel like it's just more so just explaining from your perspective. So that you both can understand, but I feel like the people who have seniority, who's been here for 20, 30 years and stuck in their ways, but nothing has really changed. And you just keep pushing and try to, like, convince them. That's the most challenging part. People who are not open up, who's not willing to change. The biggest opportunity, I would say, in Minor League Baseball would be the different types of demographics we'd be able to reach. So, different opportunities as far as New promotional things, or new ideas that we can bring to the stadium, or different types of, you know, events, like, things like that. Just positive. Energy that will bring a community together.

I am a very strong advocate of mental health. I work 69 games is and people really don't understand how tedious it is when it comes to baseball, the baseball world. Mental health and self-care is something I always strive on with all my female friends. I always do mental checks, even with my assistant, just to make sure that everyone's mentally okay. If there's a day that you don't feel like doing something, okay, just let me know, and I will take over. For me, it's always putting myself first so that I can be there for others. Mental health, Self-care, and just taking time out for yourself. That's something that I've learned over the course of my career. I wasn't always this strong advocate of it, because I was a workaholic before, but then I realized there were some moments that I was missing in life. because I put work first instead of myself. So, I would say the past 2-3 years, I have adapted to literally focus on my mental health and taking care of myself.
