A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDERS

Aspire to Her Co-Founders: Sasha Pines and Joanna Cheng
 

Do you want a fulfilling and successful career but aren’t quite sure what steps to take next? Us too. Research shows that our post-college years are critical to setting a strong career trajectory (ya, no pressure). But how do we make the most out of these 10 years?

After launching Vanderbilt Women in Business, we learned just how much other young women also struggle to discover their “dream jobs.” While we have role models we aspire to, we grapple with the question of how to obtain success. We read countless interviews of accomplished businesswomen but most of these barely scratched the surface of these womens’ early careers. We wanted information and inspiration specifically for the first 10 years of a career launch. After many late nights talking about the overwhelming amount of inapplicable information for young women, the idea for Aspire to Her was born.

We are two best friends passionate about furthering women’s initiatives and growing the community of empowered women. As we navigate the launch of our careers, let’s figure it out together!
