01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Just because you're a female in a male-dominated field doesn't mean you can't be successful. No matter what people tell you about being put down, it will never be like that if you believe that you can do it and put yourself first. We have the ability to think of the way that we want to be and literally gaslight ourselves in our minds to believe it, and if you truly believe and manifest that you are, you can be anything that you want to be.
