Amanda’s advice to other women just starting out in HR

“Although HR is typically a female dominated industry, HR leaders frequently end up reporting to male executives. Until females are better represented at the top, we need to be ourselves, show our leaders that we are confident, and take charge of our own careers. You can do all of these things and more.”
