My name is Heidi and I’m the Founder of TheAmbitionista.com (formerly known as TheSuccessfulStyle.com). I started this blog in 2013 as an avenue for me to showcase the fact that yes, ambitious, seriously intelligent, work-focused professional women need not be boring nor unfeminine. I’m a girl and believe that looking fabolous while conquering the world is a right. When I’m not blogging on TSS, I’m managing Blogger Babes, a blogging network and company I founded with my partner-in-crime, Ponn Sabra. I’m also an author, public speaker and naturally, a working woman advocate. I live by the beach in Santa Monica, CA.
