“As a new hire working 100 percent remotely, my initial goal was straightforward: to learn about UMB and expand my network,” says Veena Kavdia, MS, MBA.
“The UMBrella Coaching Program is an excellent program that brought together women from various areas of UMB to discuss their career goals and support each other in tracking and achieving those goals. As a new hire working 100 percent remotely, my initial goal was straightforward: to learn about UMB and expand my network.
“Soon, my small, cohesive group helped me realize the broader scope of this program, which includes both personal and professional well-being. The way the program content was delivered made it easy for me to attend and share my thoughts without fear of judgment. By the end of the program, I had gained valuable tools to help me succeed.”
— Veena Kavdia, MS, MBA, manager, Enterprise Application Development, Center for Information Technology Services, and Cohort 6 participant
