What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
When advising young women entering the healthcare industry, I emphasize the importance of focusing on people, not just processes. Healthcare is ultimately about the individuals we serve, so cultivating empathy and understanding is essential. I also encourage a commitment to continuous learning and professional development, as the field is always evolving.
Building and maintaining strong professional relationships has been a cornerstone of my career, and I recommend that young women invest time in networking and collaboration. Finally, seek out mentors who can guide you, and as you grow, take the opportunity to mentor others. Sharing knowledge and supporting one another strengthens both careers and the industry as a whole.
