Her Interview
Ten minutes with Jessica
01What do you attribute your success to?
I would say being industrious and having a thirst for knowledge and always wanting to get better and grow professionally and personally, whether it's spiritually or learning new ways to do something, jumping on calls at work with other people to learn their methods, and not to get complacent in either aspect.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say to network and to truly find interest in simple conversations with people and to genuinely connect because you never know when those relationships can circle back around and help you out in the future, whether it's a letter of recommendation or tapping you on the shoulder for the next role. Always be open and greet people with an open mindset and an open heart.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
What I value most in my work and personal life is the relationships I create around me, whether it's with my colleagues, my neighbors, my family, my child and being able to have genuine relationships with people that aren't strained by stress or health issues, and being able to be present in those relationships.
