01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I think I would probably say to remain motivated and curious. Because I feel like it's necessary to want to learn about what you are trying to do, and not get so discouraged if it gets a little difficult along the way. Maintain the motivation and curiosity, because learning is so important.
