What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my ambition and the examples I had growing up. My mother was a working professional, and I vividly remember watching her get on the train each day, go to work, and manage everything with grace and determination. As a little girl, I dreamed of one day carrying a briefcase and wearing heels, inspired by her dedication and resilience. Her example taught me the value of hard work, perseverance, and pursuing my goals with confidence.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is to dream big, stay persistent, and put in the hard work. Opportunities may not always come easily, but maintaining your focus, believing in yourself, and consistently giving your best will set you apart. Remember that your ambition, resilience, and dedication are your greatest assets—use them to shape the career you envision.
