Her Interview
Ten minutes with Jade
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would say it's my mom. My parents moved here about 30 plus years ago from VR. We lived in New York for a little bit, and then we moved to Maryland. Just seeing how my mom worked so hard over the years, even my dad, they continue to work any type of job just to make ends meet, but they still made the best of it for their children. She really persevered a lot in her time, and I saw a lot of that as a kid. Now she owns a whole cleaning company.
02What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I think what I value more is the people, family-wise and also work-wise. Like, the company culture, especially what I've seen at Exelon is just, like, the support. The camaraderie, the collaboration, how people are always there to support you, no matter where you are, no matter the title you have. VPs and directors, and they treat me as an equal. Just having that, especially when you are entering such a diverse corporate environment, or just a corporate world entirely.
