What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to taking bold risks and advocating for myself—going all in on a rigorous, self-funded 4-month IT bootcamp gave me real-world skills, expanded my network, and empowered me to seize opportunities despite not having early support, shaping the courage and motivation that drive my career today.
I also attribute my success to being willing to sit in the uncomfortable middle. I stay close to the work, ask questions other people avoid, and take responsibility for understanding how things actually function before trying to improve them. I do not rush to look impressive. I focus on being useful.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Watch what people do, not what they say, and decide what you want to do differently.
That advice taught me that stability, success, and fulfillment are not one-size-fits-all. I learned to be intentional about the kind of life I was building, not just the next role or title. It pushed me to choose ownership, learning, and autonomy over comfort, and to trust that long-term thinking beats short-term approval.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering this industry is: don’t be afraid of failure—take the risks and put yourself out there, because you won’t know what’s possible unless you try.
Do not wait to feel ready. Competence comes from exposure, not confidence. Say yes to the hard work early, especially the work that teaches you how the business really runs.
Pay attention to how systems and people behave under pressure. That knowledge compounds faster than titles. And do not mistake comfort for stability. Skills, judgment, and adaptability will protect your career far more than staying small to make others comfortable.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is that companies are buying tools faster than they are fixing how they work. ERP, analytics, AI, and automation are being layered on top of broken processes, unclear ownership, and poor data discipline. That creates noise instead of leverage.
The opportunity is for people who can sit in the middle. Those who understand operations, systems, and people at the same time. The real value right now is not in building more technology. It is in translating real work into systems that actually support it. That gap is where the impact is.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in my work and personal life are continual self-improvement and self-awareness, making sure I show up as my best self for both my team and myself. In my personal life, I cherish time with my three cats, family game nights, and being outdoors in nature to recharge and find balance.
