Lixandra Urresta
Executive Producer & Host
After 20-plus years in magazines, I was laid off and had to contemplate the question, "Should I make a career switch?" Despite my fears, I decided it was best to move on from the industry I knew so well. My journey lasted more than a year and during that time, I experienced plenty of highs and lows. Now that I'm in a new field, I want to give back with Career Switch Podcast.
