I’m a Masters-qualified corporate success story, who is obsessed with igniting unstoppable career success in the women who know they were made for more.
Let me paint you a picture from my past.
I was a naive grad, fresh out of an average-ranking university with $23K in student debt and a lot of self-doubt:
- I had no professional network.
- I had no fancy internships on my resume.
- I had no safety financial cushion to fall back upon.
But I had a goal.
I wanted to break into the highly competitive, exclusive, boys-club industry of capital markets.
And not land just any job, but a role in the sexy "front office" of investment banking, sales and trading or equity research.
I knew that I could excel in these roles. And I knew that they paid over 6-figures (which coming from an immigrant family that struggled financially meant a lot!)
The challenge excited me. But also really scared me.
I felt like an imposter. These roles were typically filled by grads from Canada's top business schools or via networking with the higher-ups.
I had none of that to help me.
Settling was not an option. But competing on my experience and education wasn't either.
I knew that in order to stand out, I had to elevate my application beyond WHAT I had done, and compete on WHO I WAS.
And so I got to work, developing a strategic approach to land my target job. I networked. I cold applied. I worked relentlessly on my mindset.
Then I got a test. The kind of test the Universe throws at you to see if you really want what you said you want: I got offered an entry-level job, not related to my field with ~$40K salary at best.
My student loan payments were about to start and I had almost no financial savings. I was scared.
But I knew that if I settle now, it's game over.
So I turned down the offer, and went back to my job search.
And guess what? I passed the test!
Just one month later, I received TWO COMPETING JOB OFFERS from Canada's top banks.
(one of them was literally begging me to accept. I'm not even joking!)
And with that, I signed a job offer to work in equity research (my target field of work) with a juicy comp package that blew my mind!
I knew then that I had cracked the code to this whole job searching game.
If I could do it, then other women could do it too.
I'm on a mission to help ambitious women take back their power and command more money and more impact on their terms.
Over the past 10+ years in corporate, I’ve become a master of selling WHO YOU ARE (aka your personal brand) to employers to get the job title, the salary and the benefits that you want.
After breaking into the highly-competitive industry of capital markets:
- I paid off $23,000 in student debt and paid an additional $28,000 for a Masters program.
- I successfully pivoted my career without taking a pay cut.
- I quit my job for one year to backpack around the world (summiting Mount Kilimanjaro - the highest peak in Africa - among many other adventures). Then I landed a new highest-paid job within just 3 months of returning home.
- I successfully landed a promotion within just one year of starting employment, securing a 15% increase in base salary alone.
- I found myself choosing between multiple job offers on two different occasions, and it felt so good!
- I worked for 5 of the largest companies in Canada, strategically moving up from one level to another.
Now I'm on a mission to help high-achieving women, like you, get in the driver's seat of their career growth and step on the gas!
