What do you attribute your success to?
My mother is the wind beneath my wings. I was almost the youngest in my family, and everyone else got married right out of high school and started their families. She encouraged me to go to college, and that just opened the door, and from then on, it was success all the way. My mom really is the person I look up to, because she gave me the encouragement, the support, and the love. Didn't have the money, but she gave me everything else for me to be successful. I still look back on those days when she pushed me to college, and then she pushed me to get my master's. I wanted to come home, and she says, nope, you know, you gotta make your own way. You can do this. I attribute my success to my mom.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I think they should be clear about their values and what's important to them, and not be driven by the values of people around them. As women, you know, we interact so much with other people that we tend to take on where they are, or what they're doing. I encourage young women to really be independent, and to think about what you need, what your values are, and to be true to that, without giving in to what everybody else is doing.
