01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

Where you are right now is exactly where you're supposed to be. Even if the long-term goal doesn't even reflect where you are right now, everything that you gain at every job that you obtain is going to show up. Every piece of work ethic, customer service, problem solving, all of the things. They may not look like what your end goal is right now, but they will come up again. So do everything in excellence, do it 100%, even if you can only give it 80% for that day.
