Episode Quotes:

Do you have regrets in your career?

“When I look at my career, I don't necessarily have regrets. I do think that there are lessons that I wish I'd learned earlier. One of the biggest lessons I've learned in my career is that at the end of the day, it really comes down to relationships and building strong connections with people.”

Her advice for undergrad students on what to expect after graduation and in building their careers:

“I also think that's the beauty of a career. More so than when you're a student, because obviously, when you're a student, you're still trying to figure yourself out. In a career, as you switch teams, companies, or roles, you continue to build it and continue to change it. That's one of the best things about working.”

On how to handle big and small changes that happened during and after the pandemic?

“Celebrate the change. Don't feel tied to anything that necessarily happened during the pandemic that you don't want to take back. But if you have changes that you didn't expect, it's great to celebrate them.”
