Who is Miss Moxie?

Welcome to She Wears Moxie!

In college, I got the opportunity to pursue my dream job in investment banking at an exclusively male firm - let me clarify, not one woman was employed on a deal team until the day I walked in. Walking into this internship, I was well aware, as I did my homework, that I was about to only see men for ten weeks straight, but I was still reasonably anxious realizing that I will create and set the standard for women. The night before my first day, I searched google and read just about any article and blog post relating to advice for young women entering the workforce. There are fantastic websites, blogs, and articles out on the web for working women, but I found most of the established and strongly motivating ones focused on female entrepreneurs, or written by influencers, or those who are not in the corporate workforce. At this time in my life, without any female interaction during the day, I saw a need to create a space for a place for women to connect, give advice, and laugh about the unkind days at work.

As a young woman now in the corporate world and starting this blog, I intend to not harp on the hardships and discrepancies of gender in the workforce, but rather to use my gift of sarcasm to speak about good days, bad days, and my absolutely horrid luck. Bottom line: I hope you can laugh about my unfortunate events and digest my perspective and advice. To all the other professional women, I believe we all need a little bit of moxie to manifest that we wear the pants too. It’s a fine line to walk - as many of you may know, but a little moxie goes a long way.

Enjoy this blog & please reach out if you have any thoughts or comments - I would love to connect.
