Description

Today I’m chatting with a former news gal: Corina Hierro (@CorinaHierro) who is now a tech entrepreneur.  Corina left the news business and became a founding member of the job-finding app called “Chamba” which helps Latinos find jobs by connecting them directly to employers ready to hire!

FIRST: Corina talks about coming to the USA from Mexico and how she got into the News industry and why she decided to leave and start something new in the middle of the pandemic!

THEN: We talk about getting over fear and uncertainty and starting over with your career and life. And how you can find your purpose and passion. 

AND FINALLY: Only 2% of people working in tech are Latinas and Corina shares some tips on breaking into the male-dominated industry. And how she’s creating impact in her community through Chamba– an app by latinos for latinos. 

I would love your feedback!  Find me on instagram (@AmericaArias) and twitter at (@AmericaArias) and use the hashtag #AmericasDreamers
