Meet Melba:

Melba Tellez is a Marketing Manager at Amazon and the proud founder of @mujeresontherise - a platform that connects Latina women and provides them with the empowerment, support, and tools they need to grow their careers and build the life they’ve always wanted.

After successfully overcoming many obstacles, such as dropping out of high school at the age of 16, she is now sharing the lessons she’s learned and offering resume consultations and 1:1 career coaching, in hopes of encouraging other Latina women to face their fears and go after the career and lifestyle of their dreams.

Melba has two degrees - a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and a Master of Science in Marketing. When she's not empowering women or tackling her next marketing project, you can usually catch her writing or watching reruns of The Office.

What You'll Learn in this Episode: 

  • Her community and when she started Mujeres On the Rise. 
  • Best tips or advice on the topic of resumes, job searching,  and overall career growth.
  • What makes her so passionate about women's advocacy and equal pay. 
  • Facts about equal pay and the wage gap.
  • Latina communities or women we should know about.
