Her Interview
Ten minutes with Camille Joyce
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the unwavering support of my parents, family, and husband. Their belief in me, especially during the difficult times in 2020 when I nearly gave up, gave me the strength to keep moving forward. My dad’s advice to always ask myself whether I would be happy and regret not finishing has continued to motivate me and shape my decisions.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve learned is to stay adaptable and remain open to unexpected opportunities. When the pandemic disrupted my original plans, I had to adjust and embrace a new direction, which ultimately led me to Utah and helped shape the management career I have today.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering the industry is to never give up. You may encounter people who judge you or question your abilities because of your age, but surround yourself with the right people and a supportive team that encourage your growth. If you find yourself in an environment where you are no longer learning or developing, it is okay to move forward and seek new opportunities.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is employee retention as new employees often leave after a few months or a year. Opportunities include the expanding variety of products and vendors, especially local artists and suppliers in Utah.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Balance between life and career, authenticity, compassion, and self-responsibility. I value giving employees autonomy rather than micromanaging.
