What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to being able to adapt to the ever-changing economy and structure of banking. Being able to adapt to different requirements as they evolve is crucial - new policies come out every now and then, things are constantly updated, and it's just about being adaptable to the business. I think that's what has really helped me succeed in this field.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I ever received is to advocate for yourself. Every time you have the opportunity to, you should advocate for yourself, because nobody's a better representative of your work and what you can do than you. You can have people who talk for you, but if you don't advocate for yourself and put yourself out there, it gets lost in the mix of everything else.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say it's important to show up as your best self every day. It's not about the applauses and the recognition - it's about just showing up and being consistent. Go for what you want, don't take no for an answer, and improve yourself when you need to by doing certifications and courses. Just showing up, honestly, and advocating for yourself - that's what matters most.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
I feel like the opportunities in my field are abundant - once you're determined to excel and succeed and participate, you always get opportunities. I started out in the branch, and I've evolved to capital markets, so there is always opportunity to pivot and grow your career, as long as that's what you want to do. The biggest challenge, I feel, might be how fast-paced it can get, depending on where you find yourself in the industry.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Integrity is very important to me, and being reliable, because you need integrity to work in banking. Consistency and diligence are also crucial values for me. It's not a job where you can just decide today I want to show up or I don't want to show up, or I want to do my job well or I don't want to do my job well today. Every little keystroke, every number, every activity has a ripple effect, so these values are very important in everything I do.
