What makes you an effective leader? What are you still working on?

I lead with empathy and treat it as a strategic advantage. I create an environment where people feel safe to speak openly, ask questions, and learn from mistakes without fear. I recognize that everyone brings a life outside of work, and I lead with respect for that. When people feel valued and supported, they perform at their highest level, collaborate more effectively, and drive stronger results.

I am continuously evolving alongside the rapid pace of marketing, especially with the rise of AI. I actively invest in expanding my knowledge across emerging technologies, data strategy, and consumer behavior. My goal is not just to keep up, but to stay ahead and bring forward-thinking ideas to my team. Growth is a constant priority because it directly impacts how effectively I lead and innovate.

Is there a mentor who has meant a lot to you in your career?

My aunt has been one of the most influential mentors in my life. She taught me to say yes to opportunities, even when I did not feel ready, and trust that I would figure it out. That mindset pushed me to take risks, grow faster, and step into leadership with confidence. Watching her build a successful career made her guidance even more meaningful, and it is something I carry with me today.
