The back story: As a first-generation woman, I was expected to be a doctor. But I quickly realized that going heads down into labs and textbooks wasn’t how I wanted to create impact and change lives.
During a stomach-turning recession, I found myself navigating a personal and professional reckoning of where my career would take me. How would I stay top of mind and at the top of my game?
Amid that turmoil, I tapped into my passion and expertise for coaching, securing employment in a saturated market, and ascending among my peers who were experienced and visible.
How did I do it? My career journey has been anything but linear, successfully navigating 5 career changes over the last 14 years across education, healthcare, and start-ups.
