Her Interview
Ten minutes with Michelle
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to continuously evolving, stepping outside of my comfort zone, and being willing to contribute beyond the responsibilities of my role. Throughout my career, I’ve learned the importance of putting myself out there, advocating for others, and helping people recognize their own potential. I also believe that balancing professional growth with the things that matter most to me, including my family, community involvement, and personal goals, has helped shape the leader I am today.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I think one of the best pieces of advice is doing things and putting yourself out there to help others see their potential, even helping somebody you report to if you have a certain skill set. The other thing is just not being afraid to work beyond your set responsibilities. The best way to increase your role is to showcase that you can do more than the box you're put in. Throw your name in the hat and volunteer to help out.
