For 13 years, I stayed in a job that I absolutely despised. I constantly tried to justify my situation by telling myself that it could be worse and that I should be grateful for the pension, stability, and benefits that my government job offered. Even my Caribbean relatives agreed that I had it good and that I shouldn't be complaining. If you are from an immigrant family then you know that a good government job is "THE" job you keep! However, their pep talks only provided temporary relief, and I eventually found myself feeling sick at the thought of working at this job for another 30+ years. Despite my attempts to convince myself that clocking in and out while keeping my head down would make me feel better, it only made things worse.
Eventually, I realized that I needed to take action and commit to a solid plan if I ever wanted to find a job that made me happy. In my 13th year, I finally landed a job that I enjoyed and my salary tripled. It wasn't easy getting there, and I don't want anyone else to go through the same struggles I did. As someone who made plenty of career mistakes in the past, my goal now is to help other women recognize their own potential and find fulfilling careers that they love.
My mission now involves assisting millennial women to recognize their strengths, seize opportunities, and avoid the career pitfalls I encountered. I'm committed to fast-tracking you to a satisfying and rewarding career, without the 13-year delay that I experienced.
