I moved to Canada from Colombia in my early twenties, with no local connections and no idea how I would
build a career here. It wasn’t easy, but with a lot of resilience (and trial and error), I managed to start from scratch
and build a successful career in finance, working with prestigious institutions like CDPQ and the Autorité
des marchés financiers.
A few years ago, I felt called to take a different path, so I became a performance coach, helping women
align their careers and lives in more meaningful and sustainable ways. I’m also a mother of two, so I know exactly
what it’s like to juggle everything!
I know from personal experience how hard it can be to start over in a new country—and how important it is to
surround yourself with the right people. That’s why I love what this platform is creating. It’s an opportunity
for immigrant professional women to open doors, connect, and support one another, building and strengthening
their local networks so that the journey becomes easier, faster, and more joyful.
