Post by She's New To America Pro

We are She's New to America Pro – a community built by immigrant women, for immigrant women. Here's the truth no one tells you when you move to America: your degrees, your achievements, your 10+ years of experience? They don't automatically translate. You start over. You learn new rules. You navigate a culture where self-promotion isn't optional – it's survival. We're not starting over. «I came to the U.S. with 10+ years of professional experience and 2 university degrees and started again from an entry-level role. Over the past 7 years, I've rebuilt my career from the ground up: learning, adapting, leading, and finding my voice in a new country. And I'm still building. But now, I want to build with my community. She's New to America Pro was created for women who are ready to own their story, move boldly, and stop waiting for approval. Here I am. Here you are. Here she is. Together, we're reshaping the story of immigrant women in America» — Azhar I., founder of the community. When a single Threads post went viral and 200+ women signed up within days, it became obvious that this wasn't just one person's need – it was a shared experience waiting for a home. That's when Maria Gordienko joined as Co-Founder. With 8+ years in product marketing and deep expertise in helping professionals translate their international experience for the U.S. market, Maria brings the strategic vision this community deserves. Today, we are 130+ members strong. 60% employed in top companies like Amazon, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of America. 40% actively building their next chapter. 26% in tech, 16% in finance. Represented across California, New York, Illinois, Florida, and beyond. This isn't a coaching program. This isn't an influencer's academy. This is a collective – where your accent is your superpower, your international experience is an asset, and your ambition finally has a home. Welcome to the space where you stop asking for permission and start taking up space.
