Her Interview

Ten minutes with Emily

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to my resilience and dedication, as I consistently commit myself fully to my work. I am driven and hardworking, and I am fortunate to have a supportive husband who has stood by my side throughout my career, encouraging and supporting me in every aspect of my professional journey.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

My advice to young women entering this industry is to be resilient, as you will inevitably hear “no” from time to time. Learn to let it roll off your shoulders it’s not about you; often, others just aren’t ready. Above all, stay authentic and true to yourself in every interaction and decision.
