ANDREANNA DITTON

This month's #SheIsSEMA Member Spotlight goes out to Andreanna Ditton of Internet Brands Auto Classifieds Group. Check out her Q&A with SEMA and the SBN below:

The best advice I ever received was…

Be clear, confident and concise - particularly as a journalist and a woman in the auto industry. That has served me well, even if I'm usually the opposite of concise!

This keeps me in the industry:

The people, absolutely. It's an industry that offers such an outpouring of support from its workers, fans, enthusiasts, customers, readers, etc.

On a Saturday, you can find me…

Hanging out with my two-year-old and my husband after breakfast at one of amazing restaurants in Austin, TX.

When going into an important meeting I am always…

As prepared as I can be, but ready to improvise on the spot.

If I could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, it would be…

I admire so many women in the auto industry - from racers like Shirley Muldowney to journalist icons like Jean Jennings - and I'd love to learn from them. But honestly, I'd rather go to lunch with people I talk to on a regular basis like Betsy Bennett from the Goodguys, Krista Baldwin or Cora Jokinen of Torq-Masters because they inspire me AND they are great to talk to about everything.
