Hi there! ? Thank you for being here. I am Unica Le (she/her), a proud first-generation Chinese-Vietnamese American-born citizen, passionate about turning ideas into reality. ?

I wear many hats where I do a variety of different things each day! ?

I am constantly:

? Staying passionate
? Nurturing creativity
? Welcoming change

I have served variously as a role model, mentor, and advisor around career exploration, goal-settings, startup initiatives, and professional development for college students and early career professionals. I have a deep passion for helping individuals advance their career through professional growth and networking strategies.

As a well-rounded creator, web designer, social media marketer, project manager, and resume consultant, I have worked with cross-functional teams at startups and have nurtured organizations/small businesses to solve real-world challenges through business development, design-thinking, and creative innovation.

???????????? ????? ?
In the next 2-5 years, I aspire to help make creators, students, and entrepreneurs’ lives better and drive positive social changes for underrepresented women through holistic coaching, product marketing/management, and creative design.

I’d love the opportunity to work in an innovative, tech-ed, and creator space where I can continue to foster my creativity while supporting the growth of the company to expand access and resources for marginalized groups/individuals. ???
