What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my ability to recognize patterns others often overlook. I’ve learned to leverage dyslexic thinking as a strength, one that allows me to identify gaps, create connections across complexity, and move ideas from point A to point Z. This way of thinking helps me surface insights, support decision-making, and transform overlooked details into creative, strategic solutions.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I’ve received is to stand firmly in my values and let them guide my decisions, even when it would have been easier to compromise. Consistency and honesty have shaped how I lead, built trust over time, and allowed me to create a career that aligns with who I am—not just what I do.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Stand firmly in your values, especially early on when it’s tempting to compromise in order to move faster. Alignment may not always produce immediate results, but over time, it builds trust, clarity, and opportunities that are sustainable. In the long run, integrity pays dividends that shortcuts never will.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The growing influence of AI is one of the most significant shifts in my field right now. While it provides powerful tools for efficiency and execution, it also raises important questions about originality, discernment, and the role of human judgment. The opportunity lies in using AI to support strategic thinking, not substitute it, while protecting the creativity and insight that only people bring.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Authenticity, honesty, and transparency are the values that guide both my work and personal life. Being clear and truthful in how I communicate and make decisions helps build trust and sets expectations early. These principles allow me to form meaningful relationships and create work that is aligned, sustainable, and grounded in integrity.
