What is your advice for women starting
their careers? Our careers are journeys,
and where we start may be completely
different from where we end up. This
journey is a process where we gain greater
self-awareness by constantly learning and
being challenged. We need to be open to
new opportunities and embrace them.
What is the main reason for your
success? Knowing my strengths and
understanding my limitations to strategically
engage others. I leverage those around
me who may have greater expertise in a
particular area so together we may achieve
our common goals.
What is the best way to find work/life
balance? Set boundaries between the work
and home environments. While at work, I
prioritize my time and focus on the most
critical activities to accomplish for the day.
While at home, I make time for myself to
unplug and recharge.
