About Sonya
I grew up in Michigan to Russian immigrant parents. In college, I discovered a deep passion for building great products. That's why I've worn so many hats: PM, software engineer, UX designer, Chief of Staff. Because of these diverse interests, I've been loving the opportunities that AI affords generalists to build better, faster, and better.
Why do I coach?
As a child of immigrant parents, I relied on teachers and mentors to help me navigate higher education and my career. Their guidance was instrumental to me landing a role at Microsoft, getting admitted to Stanford, and making the most of these incredible opportunities. Mentorship and coaching open doors that talent and hard work alone will not. Today, I get to pay it forward by working with clients to achieve their dreams!
