What are the keys to success for women in the workplace? Women need to speak up often and
not be afraid to share a different perspective. Demonstrate empathy and honesty. But probably the
most important thing is to build a trusted network and use it.
What is the biggest obstacle you had to overcome? Finding an appropriate work-life balance,
especially when raising my family. Women are still expected to be able to do it all.
Who inspires you? I have never really looked to others for inspiration; I have always lived my life
unapologetically as my authentic self. I hope I can inspire younger women to do the same.
