How has your previous employment experience aided your position at Julep? Working as a strategy consultant at BCG gave me the unique opportunity to develop my own voice because I got to see so many leaders of Fortune 500 companies up close.

I think this kind of opportunity is especially important for women and minorities who may not feel an immediate sense of comfort in corporate environments. I know that I struggled with how to talk, what to talk about, and I felt like I couldn't just be myself when I first started out in the work world.
