Her Interview

Ten minutes with Kristy

01What do you attribute your success to?

I attribute my success to my children. They are my greatest motivation and inspire me to keep pushing forward. I want my boys to see their mom giving her best, pursuing her goals, and proving that success is possible at any stage of life. I hope my journey shows them that it is never too late to start, grow, and accomplish the things you set your mind to.

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

My advice to young women entering my industry is to invest in their education and never stop learning. Go to school, pursue higher education, and gain as much knowledge and experience as possible. Be willing to learn, stay adaptable, and remain open to new challenges and opportunities. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and always lead with honesty and integrity. Most importantly, believe in yourself, go after your goals with confidence, and go for the gusto.
