I have a question about the use of "steadily".

Hello, teachers.

I have a question about the use of "steadily". Can you explain the use of 'steadily'?
Please see the below sentence.
Does the use of 'steadily' sound awkward in the below sentence, or is it OK?

I am looking forward to your opinions. Thank you in advance. ^^

Ms. Lee steadily visits the branch offices in Asia to make sure they are operating at full capacity.

No.

OK. Thank you ^^

That sounds most unnatural to me. I would use 'regularly'.

I'm going to take a punt here and suggest that Barb perhaps read the question as "Does "steadily" sound OK here?" instead of "Does "steadily" sound awkward here?" I agree with 5jj that it sounds very unnatural and that "regularly" would be much more appropriate.

Aha~~ Thank you for your suggestion ^^ I will use 'regularly' instead of 'steadily'.
