Her Interview
Ten minutes with Samantha
01What do you attribute your success to?
My success comes from my parents. My dad moved to the States from Mexico as a teenager, worked hard, got his citizenship, and showed incredible work ethic. My mom is the most positive person, always seeing the bright side in everything. Their example of hard work and positivity has shaped who I am today.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Half the battle is just showing up, whether it's an interview, meetup, or potential lead. Once you get there, things fall into place. Also, whether you think you can or can't, either way you're right. Your mentality determines your success, so tell yourself you can and you'll surprise yourself.
