In Episode 83, I’m sitting down with Lisandra Jimenez, Senior Program Manager at the Hispanic Alliance for Career Enhancement (HACE), to talk about navigating career pivots, stepping into leadership, and making an impact through advocacy and education.

Lisandra started in higher education, supporting students and career development before realizing she wanted a broader impact. Her transition into the nonprofit world wasn’t just a career shift—it was a move toward work that fully aligned with her values of social justice, equity, and access.

➡️ How Lisandra made the leap from higher ed to nonprofit leadership.
➡️ The role of networking and professional development in career transitions.
➡️ Why transferable skills matter more than job titles when making a pivot.
➡️ How she uses her leadership to drive impact in Latinx/e and multicultural communities.
