Ten minutes with Kristie
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success comes from the support of my Plexus community, my co-workers at school, and prayer. The genuine support and positive affirmations from the Plexus community have been key.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Approach things with an open mind. Know that in order to be successful, you have to have failure, and failure is a growth learning thing. Always be teachable. Everything is learnable and doable.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The greatest opportunities today lie in embracing innovation, adapting to change, and continually developing new skills. Technology and digital transformation are creating possibilities across every industry, making lifelong learning more important than ever. There is also tremendous opportunity in building meaningful professional networks, sharing your expertise, mentoring future leaders, and collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Organizations increasingly recognize the value of inclusive leadership and diverse perspectives, creating new pathways for women to lead, influence decision-making, and drive meaningful change. By remaining open to new ideas, investing in personal growth, and lifting others along the way, individuals can expand both their influence and their impact.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values I hold most important are integrity, authenticity, empathy, professionalism, collaboration, and empowering others. I believe trust is earned through honesty, consistency, and accountability, and those principles guide every decision I make. Whether in my career or personal life, I strive to treat people with respect, listen with empathy, and create an environment where others feel valued and supported. I also believe in giving back by mentoring others, sharing knowledge, and encouraging people to recognize their own potential. Success is most meaningful when it creates opportunities for others to grow and succeed as well.
