What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to resourcefulness. I approach challenges by finding solutions—through connections, technology, or other resources—which has allowed me to tackle a wide range of responsibilities throughout my 15-year career.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is to be confident and never stop learning. Continuously expanding your skills—through formal or informal education—will set you apart, and being resourceful will help you navigate challenges. Believe in what you bring to the table and have faith in your abilities. It’s easy to doubt yourself or assume you can’t handle certain tasks, but taking risks often reveals strengths you didn’t know you had. I’ve personally grown by pushing beyond my comfort zone, whether presenting to large audiences or leading complex projects, and the results have been incredibly rewarding.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges in our field is imposter syndrome, which many young women—and even I—have experienced. It’s common to feel inadequate, question your experience, or doubt your abilities, even when others recognize your potential. Overcoming this requires self-confidence and an awareness of your strengths, embracing what you bring to the table. Technology and social media can intensify these feelings, as constant comparisons create unrealistic expectations, making it even more important to focus on personal growth and capabilities.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both work and life are authenticity and empathy. Authenticity is essential for building trust and forming genuine connections, whether with colleagues or clients. Equally, empathy is critical, especially as we navigate complex work environments. The pandemic highlighted the importance of understanding and supporting people’s real-life situations, and I believe empathetic leadership fosters stronger teams and drives meaningful, outcome-focused results.
