Ten minutes with Rose
01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Don't take anything personally. There are so many factors outside of myself, so many reasons why somebody can say no to something that has nothing to do with me directly. Being able to separate the two and not take things personally.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Stay teachable, stay humble. Enter every environment thinking you can learn from anybody. Listen to the communities. If advocating for something, make sure to listen to those directly affected.
