Claire, Founder
ember.finance
I left my previous work as an investment associate after 2.5 years, because I felt disconnected from my work environment and experienced chronic stress. However, I liked what I was doing and think things might have turned out differently if I had found support when I was at my most vulnerable, with guidance to help me navigate the most stressful period. I created this space to allow people in finance to share the moments less known by others and behind "privileges". I hope in this space you can find the empathy, warmth, and imperfection you were missing, and feel appreciated for who you are.
