Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sandra
01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
I've had so many nuggets along the way, I would say being humble, being kind, and watching your words. Those words become actions.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Value yourself. Do not sell out. Define your weakness. They find your weakness and they sell that to you. If you go and you pull someone from poverty and expose them to elaborate things, they will sell out and become slaves to the system.
