Her Interview
Ten minutes with Olivia
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to being hungry and having tremendous determination, as well as my role model, my dad, who showed me the path through his own actions. I wake up every day trying to emulate that and achieve my personal goals to reach the next level. Pressure is a privilege, which my dad told me, and I wear that on my back every day.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've ever received is 'Pressure is a privilege,' which my dad told me, and I wear that on my back every day. It reminds me to embrace challenges and push forward.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
It's a very male-dominant field right now, but don't be intimidated by it. Your voice is honestly louder as long as you cast it. Speak up, you are just as important as your colleagues. We're all the same and want to help others. As long as you uphold your values, you will be successful in this field without doubt.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is that it's a very male-dominant field, so just being able to separate that and not let it get you down to a point where you feel like you are less than a male competitor. But you are just as worthy, your voice is just as loud, and your efforts are just as seen.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Humility, integrity, and respect are my top three values that are most important to me in my work and personal life.
