Why We Need

Redefine Her Street

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

The idea to form Redefine Her Street originated from my personal experiences in the financial services recruiting process as an undergraduate student. Having little to no prior knowledge of how the recruiting process worked, it was an extremely obscure and lonely experience. However painful this process was, one thing was for sure — success was not impossible.

I ended up successfully recruiting and started my career as an Investment Banking Analyst at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. However, I fiercely believed and to this day, still believe that my arduous experience should be the exception and not the rule.

Along with the disadvantage, I also noticed that there was a critical need for both gender and institutional diversity in the financial services. Redefine Her Street was created to create a more equitable environment for women working in the financial services industry with the belief that one day we would reach gender parity on Wall Street.

Ultimately, Redefine Her Street hopes to change the frontier of the financial services by encouraging and expanding the number of women working in the financial services and leading the way to change for the better.

Please join me in our mission because we need you to be part of our narrative.
