Her Interview

Ten minutes with Holly

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to being organized, dependable, and adaptable. I focus on delivering high-quality work, maintaining strong communication, and supporting others while continuously learning and improving. And if it’s a difficult day? I remember my resiliency. If I couldn’t do the job, the opportunity wouldn’t have come my way. The fact that the door opened is a reminder that someone saw potential in me before I could fully see it in myself.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

Be open to new ideas and never stop learning. Be the type of energy that no matter where you go, you always add value to the spaces and lives around you.

03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

My advice to young women entering this field is to be confident in your abilities and never underestimate yourself or the value of your contributions. Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills are essential, but so is being willing to learn and adapt. Build positive relationships, ask questions, seek opportunities for growth, and advocate for yourself and your career goals. Most importantly, be reliable, professional, and willing to take on new challenges, as these qualities can open doors to future opportunities. Your perseverance and commitment shape a path towards success and fulfillment.
