Her Interview
Ten minutes with JaNee
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success comes from tenacity, persistence, and never giving up. My mom was pretty goal-driven and always schooled me that if you want to do something, you want to be somebody, you want to live a decent life, try to get your education.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't give up, and always look for non-traditional ways if that's what you need to do to finish your goals, because that's definitely what I had to do.
