My parents taught my 4 brothers and me how important it is to earn your own money. They raised me always to be strong and independent. I had my first job at 17 while still in college. When I graduated, I started to look for a more stable job. My story at Foundever began in 2009 as a representative. I really liked what I was doing, it felt great to be able to help our customers with their concerns and I was really good at it. So my supervisor saw my potential and she helped me to develop and get ready for the next step. I applied to become a mentor and I got it. I had the chance to see the business from a different perspective by helping our own associates; however, I only spent a couple of months doing that because my new boss continued helping me. She encouraged me to become the second level of support, which was amazing. I learned a lot and I was able to be in constant interaction with our associates. After some time, I was ready for the next challenge and became a supervisor. I really loved it; working with a team, leading them to success was a very rewarding feeling, now many of them have grown and achieved their own goals. Today, thanks to the positive influence from many amazing women, I decided to challenge myself again and became a Manager apprentice. It’s a totally new experience, but with the encouragement, positive vibes and advice from all these amazing women I work with, I am on the right path. “When women support each other, incredible things happen.”
