International Women’s Day, to me, is a celebration of all that women have accomplished over the years. It helps bring attention to the inequality that women face, not just in the workforce but in all aspects of their lives. It is inspiring to work with such strong female role models because you get the opportunity to learn from those who are making a difference in this gender gap. I am grateful to have many of these role models by my side and want to share and recognize some of Yolo Federal’s female leaders.

Why do you believe it is important to recognize and celebrate International Women’s Day?
It’s important to celebrate and recognize ALL contributors in an organization, and women are no exception! However, I believe celebrating this day permits us to specifically acknowledge and recognize the huge strides that have been made by women in our workplace and communities. Raising awareness and celebrating the contributions that women have made and continue to make will help achieve more equitable representation EVERYWHERE.

Tell me what you love most about your job.

Why do you believe it is important to recognize and celebrate International Women’s Day?
Women can often be inspiring role models, but their voices may sometimes not be heard. I think it’s important to lift women up and acknowledge the difference they make in this world. Women should be celebrated for their contributions not because they are women but because they are compassionate, driven, smart, thoughtful, and often give wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return.
Any advice you want to give to the young women out there?
Be fearless, be ambitious, be a constant learner, and be okay with making mistakes along the way as long as you learn from them. Your passion for what you love and determination can get you far in life. You can achieve anything you set your mind to, but don’t forget to enjoy the journey.

I believe it’s important to celebrate International Women’s Day to continue to bring awareness to the discrimination that happens and to get another step closer to successfully eliminate it.
