• Life & Health
What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the strong foundation and encouragement I have received from my family, particularly my father, whose guidance and example have always inspired me to work hard and stay true to my values. In addition, my mentor, Kelly Briggs, has played a pivotal role in shaping my professional journey by offering wisdom, insight, and opportunities that have challenged me to grow and achieve more than I thought possible. Their combined influence has given me both the confidence and the resilience to overcome obstacles, remain focused on my goals, and continue striving for excellence in everything I do.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I have ever received is to never be afraid to ask questions. I’ve learned that asking questions not only shows a willingness to learn but also demonstrates humility and curiosity, which are essential for growth. This advice has helped me build stronger connections, gain clarity in challenging situations, and approach new opportunities with confidence. By seeking understanding rather than pretending to know it all, I’ve been able to develop both personally and professionally while fostering a mindset of continuous learning.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is to always remember that the sky is the limit, so never hold yourself back or underestimate what you are capable of achieving. Believe in your potential, embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, and don’t be afraid to step into spaces where your voice and perspective are needed. At the same time, give yourself grace—progress takes time, and it’s important to recognize that setbacks and learning curves are part of the journey. Balancing ambition with self-compassion will help you stay resilient and confident as you build your path forward.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the most exciting aspects of my field right now is that the opportunities for growth are truly endless. The industry continues to evolve rapidly, creating space for innovation, fresh ideas, and new ways to serve and support others. While challenges will always exist, I view them as stepping stones that push us to adapt and expand our skills. This constant evolution not only allows for professional development but also opens doors to make a meaningful impact, both within the industry and in the lives of the people we serve.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that matter most to me, both in my work and personal life, are centered around family, building lasting relationships, and earning trust through credibility. My family grounds me and reminds me of the importance of support, love, and balance. In my professional journey, I place great emphasis on cultivating meaningful relationships that go beyond surface-level interactions, because genuine connections create stronger collaborations and lasting impact. Trust and credibility are also at the core of everything I do—when people know they can rely on my integrity and commitment, it builds a foundation of respect that allows both personal and professional relationships to thrive.
