Her Interview

Ten minutes with Katelyn

01What do you attribute your success to?

My dad has been my biggest cheerleader. Even on days when I felt like I wanted to give up, he helped me continue to believe in myself and keep going.

02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?

Don't ever stop believing in yourself. Along the way, you get met with many people who will try to steer you in one direction or another, but if you truly know yourself and what you want and need, you can always work within your abilities to make that happen.
