Career Switch Podcast: Expert advice for your career change
06: Starting a woman-owned small business
After almost 20 years as a structural engineer, Patricia Rodriguez reached a point where her career had gotten somewhat stagnant and she was ready for a change. She jumpstarted her career by starting her own firm and teaching—the dream combo she had imagined in graduate school.
Patricia shares how she opened new doors for herself as a woman-and-minority-owned small business and how her long standing relationships in her industry helped her land her first clients as well as a teaching position. She recalls the ups and downs of starting her own business, which included learning new skills to run her firm, PAR Engineering, in New York City.
