What is one piece of advice someone told you that resonated with you that can give to
other women in FinTech?
Self-advocacy is crucial for career success and progress. You're unlikely to receive it if you don't ask for what you want. I encourage young girls to step forward, take risks, and pursue their aspirations. The only real setback is not trying at all. Embracing self-advocacy unlocks potential, breaks barriers, and fosters personal and professional growth. Let's empower the next generation to fearlessly seize opportunities, knowing that they're taking courageous steps toward their dreams even in the face of rejection.
Can you tell us about a time someone encouraged you to try a task or take on a project
you didn’t think that you would know how to do/or be good at?
In the past four years, I have experienced three job switches, and each opportunity presented its initial challenges, as is common with new roles. During those times, I often felt like an imposter. I have found great value in having a mentor or confidant who can be a supportive cheerleader. This person can be a manager, a friend, or a team member who provides guidance and encouragement. Having someone to lean on and learn from has been immensely beneficial in navigating these transitions and overcoming self-doubt.
What is the most important lesson you have learned from a mistake you’ve made in the
past?
Mistakes are learning opportunities that help us improve. When I make a mistake, big or small, I may feel down momentarily. But I remind myself that this too shall pass. I embrace the chance to learn from the mistake and move on. Mistakes are part of the journey, providing valuable insights for future encounters. By adopting this mindset, I cultivate resilience and continuous growth.
Do you have any productivity hacks? What keeps you motivated? How do you maintain
a work/life balance?
Engaging in various endeavors, I have discovered a productivity hack that works well for me:
prioritizing my personal and professional tasks. I find it beneficial to schedule everything on a calendar and then adjust accordingly. This approach helps me stay organized and focused on what matters most. My goal is to make a tangible impact and contribute significantly to the fintech community.
