01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Definitely to not dull your shine, no matter the rooms you're in. I think there's definitely space to understand context and learn when to be quiet and be a sponge and soak things in. I found myself, especially earlier in my career, kind of shying away from speaking up, and that shying away from speaking up can be a difference from you being noticed in a room. So, definitely finding the balance between not dulling your shine, but also learning when to take a step back and when to make sure that you're not overstepping or being the loudest voice in the room, but being very strategic about when you do speak up in rooms that you are with much more experienced people.
