What is your favorite part of your job?

I love and relish every moment of our two-hour annual event, Provo Girls Summit. It is magical to see the girls’ faces light up when they hear the introduction of a woman whose career speaks to them. It is beautiful to watch those girls—who are typically more shy—approach a professional they have been waiting to talk with and summon the courage to ask a question. It is inspiring to see women who have worked very hard throughout their lives show up and be cheered on for their hard work, be asked for their autograph, and have a captive audience curious about careers that they love. It is an honor to be in an intergenerational event where each generation is serving each other.

Who inspires you most? Why?

To all the girls and women showing up in scary situations, we are cheering for you! We see you! You are inspiring us! We are trying to give you more exposure so that career paths are given a little bit of light. We want our daughters and your daughters to know that there are rocket scientists, geologists, animators, attorneys, entrepreneurs, engineers, dentists and paleontologists who are women, and they can be one, too. We believe “if she can see it, she can be it!”
