Hi there,

I'm Maria José (MJ for short)!

I am a first-generation Latina professional working in higher education supporting individuals as they work to achieve their career goals. CareerConfidence was created to inspire and educate each individual who explores this platform as we are growing in our confidence.

I am excited that you are here to grow with us!

Personal Promise

As a fellow Career Counselor and Societal Educator, my personal promise is to create a positive impact so we can all build and grow our confidence. Proudly carrying the identity of a first-generation Latina undergraduate, graduate, and now professional, navigating higher education presented various intersecting challenges, and I found myself battling one after another. My path to academic and career success was nothing like I would have imagined, but my experiences fuel my passion for serving and giving back to my communities and beyond.

I strongly believe each individual deserves a fair and equal opportunity to academic and career success. For this is one of the pillars CareerConfidence was built on, to live out my passion as a higher education professional and societal educator who is wholeheartedly dedicated to serving all those who seek career guidance to achieve their career and life goals.
