Her Interview
Ten minutes with Rebekah
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to being in an incredibly supportive environment with strong female mentors and leaders who advocated for me. Growing up in an athletic family taught me the value of teamwork, accountability, coaching, repetition, and continuous improvement, which shapes how I lead today.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
The confidence piece is huge. Sometimes it's easy to neglect other skill sets or assume you're not capable. Step into roles without a playbook, figure things out from scratch, trust yourself to build structure and create pathways. With confidence and a learning mindset, you can take on anything and carve out your own path.
03What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
It's still a male-dominated field which can be intimidating, but it's changing. Women excel at building community, advocating for each other, and recognizing good work. The sense of community among female leaders is remarkable and getting stronger. Challenges remain like needing to repeat ideas to be heard at the leadership table.
04What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Self-care is crucial to be successful. You can't take care of others unless you take care of yourself first, especially mentally. Work-home life balance is valued at my organization. Knowing what you can control as a leader and not burdening yourself with things outside your control is key. Giving back to the community through volunteering feeds my soul.
