Q What advice would you offer women just starting out?
A I advise women to seek mentors and skill-building opportunities. In the early stages, prioritize self-actualization and growth over financial gains, positioning yourself for long term success. Invest in personal development, and financial rewards will follow.
Q What’s the best advice you have received, and how has it helped you?
A The healthiest people have the strongest boundaries. Establishing boundaries early in one’s career is crucial for maintaining emotional, physical and mental well-being. Developing skills in direct communication, saying no, and setting priorities and limits allows individuals to preserve their integrity.
Q If you could go back in time and give yourself advice as a young professional, what would you say?
A Challenge yourself and make an interesting choice. It’s not a bad thing to be uncomfortable with your choices and environment. Force growth by pushing your own limits. Too often, we take the safe option and lose the opportunity to grow in an unexpected direction.
Q How have you mentored or inspired others?
A I like to hire ambitious women. I foster ambition in female employees by requiring personal development, directing them to grow with or through us, but grow. My goal is to equip women with self-advocacy, boundary-setting, confidence and assertiveness for future leadership roles.
By bringing them into the conversation, I hope that the women who work at our center will leave with highly developed soft skills such as critical thinking, communication and time management, positioned to take leadership positions in their next chapter.
