Her Interview
Ten minutes with Jennifer
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my educational foundation, which includes a degree in art history, a master's in museum professions, and a second bachelor's degree that I completed in 2021, alongside earning my paralegal certification. Continuing to grow professionally, including becoming a notary, has also played a significant role, and I remain passionate about staying connected to the museum field through my involvement with the American Association of Museums.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would ask her to consider whether she possesses the right foundational skills — is she organized, timely, and able to manage deadlines effectively? I would also tell her that this line of work requires a thick skin, since the people you support can sometimes be difficult, and as their closest support, you may bear the brunt of their frustration. My advice is always to listen first, not take things personally, and instead focus on understanding what's causing the issue so you can find a way to resolve it.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Women supporting one another is deeply important to me. Too often, women bring each other down when we should instead be lifting one another up and helping each other succeed.
