What do you attribute your success to?
First and foremost, I attribute my success to the Lord. I don't think if the Lord gave me breath every day, or the strength to do what I do, I could do what I do. Second, I think it's probably my kids that give me the driving force to continue to do what I do to make the world better for them.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
The best career advice I've received is to be really proactive and make sure to keep good mentors in my life to maintain focus and accountability. If you have really good mentors in your life, they've been there and done that, and you can learn from where they've been so that you're not reinventing the wheel. You can take that wisdom that's passed down and go even further with it. I like to think of all the mentors that I have in my life for the advice and the counsel that they've given me, no matter what projects I've done, and take everything that they've learned accumulatively as their ceiling and make that my floor and launch from that. That way my kids and the people that I mentor can do the same - take everything that I've built, make my ceiling their floor and starting point, and go even further. Having a mentor-mentee relationship is really important to maintain your walk of life, no matter what you're doing.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice is definitely work-life balance. The more emotional and mental toll your work takes on you, the more time you really need to take to step back, to process and breathe yourself. If we look at first responders or paramedics, they do 48 hours on and 4 days off, because it actually takes double that time to recoup to be able to do their job really well again. You need to make sure that you don't get so driven on your goal or project that you forget what your real priorities in life are. Know your non-negotiables and your priorities and motivation behind what you're doing, and always keep that in check. I know for myself, when I just put everything at it and forget about everything else going on, sometimes you lose sight of what you're really doing because you're so focused on the outcome that you lose yourself and your priorities. Like they say in the airlines, you put your mask on yourself before you can take care of anybody else. We're not good for anybody else if we're not taking care of ourselves first. We can only give out of our excess.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Honestly, when you're passionate about something, you kind of go all in, and probably the hardest thing is to remember to take care of yourself because you're so focused on the goal and the need, because there's so much of that needed in so many places. When you are goal-driven, you're going to give it 1,000% all the time, so just maintaining your own personal and mental health and stamina and preventing burnout is probably the hardest component of working with nonprofits or volunteer work. The other challenge is working around broken systems or working within broken systems, whether it's the legal system or the insurance system, or whatever it may be. There's a lot of broken systems out there that you still have to abide by rules and other processes and procedures, and that can create sometimes significant conflict, especially with timelines and putting the person or the individual first.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I'm bluntly and short-spoken - God first, family second, work third. Obviously, there are times and seasons where work takes more of a priority than others, but it still needs to be what I always come back to. Other values would be integrity and character - that your motivation for what you do is pure and honest, even when no one's looking.
