Priscilla Esquivel Weninger is a Texas Latina and daughter of immigrants from Mexico and Peru. She’s also a jefa, boss, who landed her dream job working within professional services as a human capital strategy consultant, having earned an MBA from the University of Texas at Austinwith a full-ride scholarship— it’s a journey she embarked in her mid-twenties, when she realized that the salary she earned in the nonprofit space wouldn’t help her achieve the financial independence she desired in the long run.
She does not mince words about the journey to get there and stresses: The path is not linear. In fact, it involved imposter syndrome, a lot of mindset challenges and pivots.
In this episode of Moneda Moves, we speak with the host of the Early Career Moves Podcast, Weninger, about her trajectory, challenges as she embarked higher education and accelerators in her career. We also talk about what obtaining an MBA did for her career.
