Her Interview
Ten minutes with wendy
01What do you attribute your success to?
My kids push me the most to be better at my job. I want them to know they can do whatever they want and there's always a ladder to climb if you're committed.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
My former boss advised to always put my best face forward, keep an optimistic attitude, remember I've worked hard to be where I am, and to keep pushing forward even on hard days with new tactics for success.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Push through, it's a male-dominated field but we girls can do just as much as men can. Don't be pushed away by being a girl, remember you're in a different position by being a girl in this field.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
Hospitals doing work in-house is the biggest challenge as a third-party vendor. We've addressed it by offering service contracts and starting an HTM program to handle specific equipment like blenders and infusion pumps at low prices.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Honesty and loyalty are the biggest values important in every aspect, both professional and personal.
