I attribute my success to being able to be myself. I feel like if we're doing anything in life, we should have the opportunity to be ourselves, and we shouldn't have to filter out any parts of our true self in order to do anything in life. Otherwise, it doesn't feel like an authentic thing that we're doing.

The advice that I would give to young women entering the industry is to not let anything stop them from doing what they're doing. I know that women, in some fields, like what I'm in, tech, it's male-dominated, so it's important for us not to let that reflect our abilities and what we're contributing to the fields.

For AI, some of the biggest challenges include ethics, which is a huge one. Another challenge is security and privacy, which people often mention. As for opportunities with AI, I feel like at this point, in today's world, opportunities are endless. I recommend that anyone who has not tapped into AI should do it.

Keeping good company around me is most important, because I believe that my surroundings ultimately reflect who I am as a person. I value my surroundings, my environment, and the people within it.
