Ten minutes with Jeannie
01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be authentic. I think that sometimes doing all of the small things and being authentic has allowed me to be extremely successful. Keeping true to yourself actually is very well received and you don't need to be salesy.
02What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Education is in a strange spot with school choice and understanding what schools are looking for. Staying curious is super important but also most rewarding. You have to have tough skin because you get broken up with like 8 times every day.
