Ten minutes with Tifany
01What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
My grandfather always tells me that if I'm gonna do something do it well. Like love what you do and do it well. That helps me put my energy and effort in projects like starting an engineering club at CCM and not give up.
02What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
It doesn't matter where you start but where you end. Don't look at where you are right now but look at where you're heading. It doesn't matter how you begin but where you're getting to.
03What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Helping people is huge. Also curiosity, perseverance, loving what I do, learning new things, thinking outside the box and going further. Knowing your why, how and what.
