Her Interview
Ten minutes with Hannah
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think it just goes back to being very detail-oriented. That's one thing anybody that works with me will say, that regardless of what position I'm in, whether I'm just answering the phone or I'm doing a managerial position, then I'm very detail-oriented. If you tell me something, I'm gonna keep bugging you about it until you finish it, because that looks bad on the company if you don't, so I'm gonna stay on you. So I think just being very detail-oriented and organized has really helped.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would definitely say that, you know, you're gonna have to learn all the technical stuff on the backside. I still, of course, don't know all the technical stuff, but as long as you're confident in what you say, and consistent in what you say, and showing what value you do bring to the team, a lot of times the guys are more receptive and actually start listening and coming to you for advice. So as long as you're confident and, like I said, just staying consistent, you typically can win them over.
