Hi, I'm Daphne Valcin. I am originally from North Miami Beach, FL, where I currently live, thought we hope to move to Metropolitan Atlanta, GA this summer.
I currently work for myself as a coach, speaker, and trainer for Daphne Valcin Coaching, where I focus on supporting clients with career advancement or business growth.
What excites me about my work is that I get to see how the work I do practically impacts people's lives when it comes to their finances, productivity, goals, mindset, and more.
One career goal I'm working on is obtaining at least 10 corporate contracts this year.

Hi all, my name is Sarah McMullen. I am originally from Rochester, NY and currently live outside of Baltimore, MD. I'm currently and Inclusion Strategist and Consultant with Getting Hired. What excites me about my work is that I'm doing work that aligns with my passion to improve workplace health and cultures and increase representation, inclusion and equity for underrepresented groups.
One career goal I have is to grow my professional network outside of clients and colleagues that I currently work with, which is why I joined this VIP networking group.

Hello Zoe,
My name is Katrina McNair . I'm from Frankfurt, Germany and I currently live in Manassas Park, VA. I have been here for 13 years. I'm a former military brat. I'm educator at heart and I have some business skills and education as well. I'm currently a Site Director over an elementary school in Prince William County. I'm also an Online Educator where I teach adults English all around the world. What excites me about my work is that I'm able to work with children and adults. I also get to work from home. I truly enjoy helping people become better versions of themselves.
My goal is to own a private school from K-12. This is a work in progress. I found a school but I need the funding in order to purchase it. I ran into a problem during the middle of the pandemic. I was being scammed by my funding source so I have to research other avenues to find a way to fund this school.
Sincerely,
Katrina

Hi everyone! I'm Dana, an LA-based Entertainment attorney originally from Washington DC. I love making deals for the content that people see, hear, and experience. My goal is to transition from in-house to a law firm to continue learning and growing as an attorney and work with a variety of clients on large projects. As a second career attorney, I've found the transition challenging. But I'm excited to find my place!
