Embark on an inspiring journey as Ana, a migrant professional and a former international student, shares her insights into the challenges migrants, particularly women, face in the pursuit of professional success and career change.
Why Ana?
Ana’s narrative, seasoned with humour and Southern European wit offers a unique perspective on the barriers encountered by migrant women, international students and migrants on temporary visas. As a strong advocate with lived experience, Ana challenges the mainstream narrative and offers ways to help organisations see and remove those barriers.
With a generous dose of empathy and self-reflection, Ana provides practical examples of how cultivating empathy, building a community and extending a helping hand has a transformative impact on people around us.
Lived migrant and refugee experience
As Ana unfolds pivotal moments that defined her journey from being a refugee at the age of 11, to becoming a migrant professional in mid-30s, she reflects on the importance of following our intuition and finding our hidden strengths to overcome unforeseen events, career change in a new country, find friends and overcome loneliness.
Her narrative weaves a tale of resilience and triumph over adversity, as she envisions a future where migrant communities, particularly women, not only survive but thrive, making substantial contributions to the societies they call home.
