Our Name
Our name is a reflection of women, their challenges, and accomplishments. Work in my Heels represents the idea of finding strength to push through no matter how complicated or uncomfortable our jobs may become. Our name was chosen to bring about social awareness as it also relates to "walk in my shoes".
Our Story
Work in my Heels was formed by friends with diverse occupations who enjoy hanging out. While spending time together, they realized they often face similar challenges in their personal and professional lives. Therefore, they decided to form a networking group to provide an outlet for women to discuss workplace issues, seek solutions and support each other in their journeys for professional growth.
