Growing up in New York City, not far from Wall Street, I knew I wanted to be an executive – but I didn’t exactly know what that would look like. After graduating from the School of Business at Baruch College, I landed a very respectable job as an accountant with a small accounting firm. Hard working and well paid, I trudged to work each day and gained the respect of my colleagues and upper management. Successful and on track for promotion, I realized something was missing: happiness.

I did not love my job. I was not using my super powers. So I quit.
