My Introduction

Starting my career and deciding where I wanted to go in life was always an intimidating topic.  Being an Asian American women, I was pressured to pursue a career based on prestige and compensation with no real guidance as to what any of that truly meant.  In my early years, it was the stereotypical pre-med route. I couldn't handle anatomy, so I switched to pre-pharma during my undergraduate years, not really understanding why or what that really meant. 

After receiving a B.S., I started my career in the Biotechnology space.  I quickly learned how competitive the career market was in Silicon Valley and desperately took the first job offer handed my way after 6 months of searching.  These last 7+ years, I went from being an associate at a small start up to a Senior Manager at a Fortune 500 company. What was most important through this journey was finding what I enjoyed and where I wanted to go.  Make Me Happy Career section of my blog will be a compilation of my personal job experiences and what I wish I had known when I started my career journey. I hope that this blog will inspire other women to share their stories. ​
