Her Interview
Ten minutes with Yanet
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to always having discipline and consistency. I consult to do the best thing for my neighbors and my Latino community. I have lived in Nashville for 22 years and see all the needs. I always want to help my community because we have good people who need only the knowledge to be successful.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Always be disciplined and stay focused and believe in your dreams.
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Always be prepared, always learn, because every day we learn something different and be disciplined.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
My biggest challenge is getting people to believe in me. When you have the business owner and you started, nobody believed in you, so nobody wants to hire the new people. That's my biggest challenge: creating the credibility to the big organization.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Delivering good service, being honest, discipline, taking care of the community, integrity and advocacy.
