Lana is celebrating her third anniversary at S.U.C.C.E.S.S. When she began her S.U.C.C.E.S.S. story, she was coming from the private sector and didn’t have much knowledge about the social service industry. Yet, she discovered it was “the most rewarding thing I can do.”

Before she became a Project Coordinator, she started as a business coach for the Immigrant Women Entrepreneurship Program. Later, she transitioned to a role at the Work BC Self- Employment program before landing her current position. She never expected this kind of swift professional growth when she first started.

Being an immigrant herself, she understands what other newcomers deal with and how she can help. At S.U.C.C.E.S.S. “I’ve grown immensely personally and professionally, I discovered helping is my calling,” Lana says. “I get to connect with people on a deep level, no matter if it is a client or colleague, we deal with life-changing, goals and dreams, daily life topics. I feel honoured to be able to do this job. It’s the most rewarding thing I can do.”

Lana gets daily motivation from seeing the growth of her clients and team, while learning something new from different people, all in a diverse environment. In short, working at S.U.C.C.E.S.S she feels heard and supported. “My managers are mentors,” she says, “they are there to help me to get what I want in my career and life.”
