Her Interview

Ten minutes with Kelsey

01What do you attribute your success to?

I was raised by a single mother. And I always saw her do everything and 10 times beyond. And she did all by herself. My dad passed away when I was young. She didn't miss a day at work. ... she went back to college. Got a nursing degree... That's just always shown me that you can do anything you set your mind to, and the people that are often in spaces where they're not succeeding is because they're not putting their full self out there.

02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?

In the field that I'm in, it's pretty male-dominated. It doesn't matter. You if you make yourself small, they'll sue you small. If you go in the first day and have respect for yourself, and have respect for others, but also hold your own. ... not putting my age as a factor, or my gender, and just being Kelsey.
