What do you attribute your success to?
I credit my success to a strong sense of gratitude. I was fortunate to receive opportunities early in my career that enabled me to gain experience and momentum after high school. I remain mindful that these opportunities are not equally available to everyone, and I am grateful for the support systems that helped me move forward.

My advice to young women entering this industry is to never back down. Face obstacles with determination, even when guidance is limited, and always strive to do your best.
