Why Work With Me?
Have you ever felt dissatisfaction at work, suffered from burnout, or faced financial worries? You’re in the right place!
My journey began in a small town in Mexico. I moved to America at 13, witnessing my parents’ financial struggles, which I vowed not to endure as an adult. Immigrating alone was tough. I battled a profound sense of non-acceptance, making my high school years challenging.
College was finally my turning point. Diving deep into my Finance and Investment Management degree, I regained my confidence and secured a job with an annual salary exceeding $70,000 before graduation.
Next, I took on NYC, securing a full-time position in macroeconomic research to work for the II-Ranked #1 Portfolio Strategist in the country, earning a privileged salary throughout the following years. Thanks to a solid salary and savvy investment decisions, financial management has never been a worry for me, unlike the struggles my family faced.
"With over two decades the United States living the true American dream, I founded Echoes of Experience to share all I’ve learned about navigating a successful career path."
- Magdalena, Founder of Echoes of Experience
Empowering Change: My Commitment to Social Impact Initiatives
For over a decade, I have proudly contributed to the academic journey of promising students through a dedicated scholarship fund. My unwavering commitment to education is reflected in the enduring partnerships I have cultivated with esteemed universities. These alliances not only enrich our coaching sessions but also empower us to collectively shape bright futures.
Every contribution we make is an investment in potential, directly financing the tuition of a student and paving the way for their success. Together, we are not just supporting education; we are transforming lives and fostering a legacy of social impact.
“I give to UWM because I truly believe that the success I’ve had in my career is mostly a function of my education and the fantastic mentors/professors who opened doors for me and made every opportunity a possibility for me. I am eternally grateful to the Lubar School of Business, the Investment Management Certificate Program, and to Dr. Kevin Spellman, who has been my greatest mentor, friend, and someone I will always look up to."
