This week our special guest is Dra. Jasmine Escalera who discusses the topic of confidence building and defining career success on your terms. Dra. Jasmine is a certified career and life coach with proven programs that help her clients focus on gaining clarity around their careers, beating self-doubt, and building confidence. She holds a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from Pace University and Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Yale. She was also named a 2022 LinkedIn Top Voice!

In this episode we discuss: Her background as a Latina who grew up in Brooklyn, New York and how it influences her work today. The importance of self-awareness in (re)building your confidence after being in spaces where few people look like you. How to carve your own career path and define your own career success. And the importance of  forming a community building strategy for networking.
