Her Interview
Ten minutes with Falon
01What do you attribute your success to?
Having a good support system outside of work has made me a stronger person for work. I know that if I want to succeed sometimes I have to do things that people don't like but it's what we're supposed to be doing and we kind of just adapt to it.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
To keep going. Just because you've had some hiccups in the road or something, you know mostly male-dominated field doesn't mean that you can't do it. You have to work a little harder. In hindsight you're going to build your character and you're going to be stronger than you ever think that you can. Stand your ground if you firmly believe something.
