Angelica Hachiya was a former project coordinator at the Carp in Las Vegas and a business owner herself at Rattan imports when she came to Nate for guidance. To this day, Angelica continues her professional growth with Nate as her mentor. Currently,  she is leading a team at Topl as Product Designer helping shape their next blockchain innovation. However, it wasn’t always that way. In the beginning the job search was hard for Angelica. One day she called Nate while he was clipping avocado tree leaves in his garden. Expressing her concern of lack of experience in the field, Angelica yearned to know how to quickly gain expertise so that she could get hired. That’s when her soft skills as project coordinator came in handy. Nate helped Angelica lead a team of 15 designers to prototype and test HummDrum, and application that helps sooth anxiety through music creation. This professional experience and leadership propelled Angelica to product management status helping earn her $118K salary. You can do it too.
