Today I am joined by Sophia Zarate. Sophia is a first-generation Mexican American who was born and raised in a Texas border town called Laredo. She moved to NYC in 2016 while she was a Sophomore in college. Since graduating, she has attained professional experience in Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, and Social Media. Many of you may have come to know her from her infamously hilarious TikToks where she has shared her journey of leaving her secure but soul sucking job in finance to put her mental health first.

While creating relatable content for TikTok Sophia was also building a community for New York Corporate Latinas and Latinos and Most recently, she founded the Non-Profit Organization known as Corporate Pero Latinos.
