Ursulline: From Homelessness to High Heels – An Inspirational Journey of Resilience and Success

Ursulline is a dynamic and inspiring public speaker with a remarkable journey from homelessness to professional success. Moving to Los Angeles with less than $300 and spending a year living in her car, Ursulline transformed her life through sheer determination and resilience. She worked her way out of homelessness and built an impressive career, eventually becoming a successful content creator and social media influencer.

Over the past 13 years, Ursulline has gained valuable experience working for Warner Brothers, the Walt Disney Company and Meta. While her roles provided her with a strong foundation in corporate environments, she was simultaneously developing her career as a content creator behind the scenes. At Meta, she played a significant role in shaping a creator marketing database, leveraging her unique insights and creative skills.

After being laid off from Meta, Ursulline decided to pursue her passion full-time. Over the past 8 years, she has successfully built her brand and regularly works on paid partnerships and brand deals. Her journey from executive assistant to full-time content creator is a testament to her adaptability, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit.

Career Highlights:

Warner Brothers: Provided executive support and contributed to high-profile projects.

Walt Disney Company: Supported executives and played a key role in the creation of compelling content.
