Her Interview
Ten minutes with Eunice
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my parents first of all because without them I would not be where I am. I came from a family of 7 children and happened to be the last. My parents were not educated but they went out of their way to make sure every one of their child was educated. So I give it to them and also to God.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best advice I've always received has always been from my husband. One time I came home after being cussed out by a patient who told me I was a black monkey. My husband looked at me and said girl you need to shred that off your shoulder. Pick your heads up and move. You're black, you're beautiful, they can't get your call or that's why. He literally pushed me and said don't sit and make that an issue. Instead turn it around to a thing of beauty for you. Every time I try to doubt myself he has told me my worth and told me I know more than I think I know. And that has been it.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be you and treat the patients like you want to be treated. Don't look at them like a money-making machine because that's what is going to work for you. That's what's gonna earn you your success in this profession because they are already having health issues and the more kindness and empathy you meet with them the more you glow their life and make them more healthy. So just do you.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is still this color offerings white and black. So we at times have to do more to prove our worth in this field. I've always told my kids because I happen to have all girls too and I've told them look if you want to succeed in this country you need to know what you're doing and know it very well than your other race counterparts because that's what's gonna work for you. You cannot cut corners when you're in this field. So the biggest challenge has always been the color thing and the accent thing but I turn around and make it my surface.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values that are most important to me is treating everybody like you want to be treated. What I've embarked on my staff is when you take a patient like they are your family you're not gonna wrong them. You're not gonna do the wrong things to them because you see them as a family. But if you see them as a making money machine then you make mistakes. Because you don't want to hurt your loved ones right? So that's the way I take my patients.
