Pausing the career you immigrated for with Luciana Valdiviezo

Ever since she took a summer film class in New York, Peruvian marketing major Luciana Valdiviezo promised herself she’d live and work in the city some day. Through hard work, chasing down visa opportunities, and a lot of luck, Luciana made her dreams of becoming a marketing executive in the US come true. But now, 12 years after moving to the US to pursue that career, she’s choosing to press pause.

Luciana talks about motherhood, what it takes to build a career abroad, and how seeing other women take breaks in their careers helped her make the difficult decision to put her career on pause for her family.
