01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
To get comfortable you have to be uncomfortable. There are gonna be a lot of uncomfortable situations like not wanting to speak up or not knowing anyone or the industry but you have to put yourself out there and keep saying yes to those environments. Eventually you become more comfortable and step out of your comfort zone. Especially for women and girls you just have to ask and speak up. The worst they can say is no and that's okay. You'll never know unless you try.
