Her Interview
Ten minutes with Ginger
01What do you attribute your success to?
My commitment level is both a blessing and a curse. I overcommit and put clients and the company first before myself and sometimes my family. It's in my nature once I'm doing something I have a hard time breaking free.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Remember your priorities in life. You never know what's gonna happen and you need to make sure you consider that.
