Her Interview
Ten minutes with Levette
01What do you attribute your success to?
Resilience and grit. Not giving up. It's not been a straight journey. There's been ups and downs, but always the desire to feel the fear and do it, sailing forward, staying consistent. Learned nuggets along the way even in times when it's not been so pleasant.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
You don't have to know it all, but you have to know how to get the information. Be consistent, a lifelong learner, and coachable. My preceptor told me you have to know how to retrieve information.
