Her Interview
Ten minutes with Kaylin
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success comes from my own hard work, ambition, and goals since a young age, pursuing my degree while raising three young kids, and the opportunities and mentorship from people who saw my potential and shaped me. Resiliency has been key, as I've had no choice but to keep going through divorce, single motherhood, and career demands.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Leaders ask questions. Don't be afraid to ask questions even if you have to ask the same one multiple times, because you don't get good at your job if you don't ask, and trying to figure it out alone might make you look silly instead.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't be afraid to ask questions or make mistakes, as that's how you learn. Be ambitious, channel your inner boss, walk in with your head held high and confident. Handle mistakes by taking accountability without hanging your head low, and solve problems directly.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Kindness no matter how hard the day is, integrity instead of playing games to get ahead, putting in honest hard work, showing up confident, having hard conversations, and understanding that everyone has personal lives and pressures so we should view others as real human beings.
