Her Interview
Ten minutes with Katherine
01What do you attribute your success to?
My mom. She told me from day one to focus on school and not worry, and she gives me constant reassurance that I can do it. She has led me to believing that I can do it.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't feel imposter syndrome, you got there for a reason. Don't be embarrassed to ask for help. Make connections but remember it's you doing this for yourself. Listen to your family. Work hard but remember nothing is that big of a deal. Don't be quiet or shy, especially in a male-prevalent field.
