Her Interview
Ten minutes with Monica
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to stubborn persistence. I've always been of the mentality that you either sink or swim, and I very much so refuse to think so I will be swimming until the rest of my days. Failure is no longer trying or putting in the effort. I choose to take a step back, critically evaluate situations, and use them as opportunities to drive forward.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don't second guess yourself. Figure out how to fully let go of imposter syndrome. You deserve to be there. Focus on your own reflection of how you perform rather than worrying about what somebody else perceives you as.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
In my work, I value challenges and problem solving, thriving on complexity because it forces creativity and growth. In my personal life, I value family time and being present in the little moments with my three kids, as these moments won't come back.
