When my family experienced the Los Angeles Riots of 1992, just a year after immigrating to the U.S. I vividly remember my American Dream being upended as I vowed to dedicate my life to those who are vulnerable and underprivileged.

I started my career dedicated to underserved communities, but I learned the hard way that until I knew how to advocate for myself, I couldn’t make a significant impact.

I failed to ask for a salary increase when accepting job offers, erroneously expected my supervisors to recognize my good work and promote me, and also never defined my own goals for my career.

As a result, I missed out on multiple opportunities for advancement.

So I read everything I could find and met with leaders who taught me about influence, managing effectively, and navigating the unwritten rules of the workplace.

Thanks to these lessons learned, I’ve not only successfully managed my own career, but I have also helped other professionals step into their power and make an impact.

Now I help BIPOC women executives in the social impact space manage up, challenge their inner critics, and live without limits.

If this is you, let’s talk.
