Our Story | Her Way In

Our Story

Her Way In started with a simple observation: the opportunity was there. The support to actually take it often wasn’t.

Siya Patel

Siya founded Her Way In after watching her sister ask question after question about internships and realizing she had just as many of her own. Nobody had handed them a roadmap, and the answers were scattered across a hundred different places.

Her Way In started as a place to get those questions answered. It grew into a community of women who share advice, opportunities, and honest experience with each other, so no one has to figure it out alone.

Today that includes mentorship, programs, and a podcast featuring women from all kinds of backgrounds, including South Asian women, talking openly about their paths.

Nobody hands you a roadmap

Most of us start out with more questions than answers. How do you find an internship? Who do you ask about law school? What does a strong application even look like? The opportunities are out there, but the answers about how to reach them are scattered, and not everyone has someone to ask.

Advice should be easy to find

Her Way In exists to close that gap. We bring together mentorship, programs, and honest conversations, including our podcast featuring women from all kinds of backgrounds, so every woman has somewhere to turn and someone who has already been where she is trying to go.

What We’re Building

Someone to Turn To

A mentor and a community of women who have been where you are and will answer the questions nobody else does.

Real, Practical Answers

Honest advice on internships, applications, and career paths, not generic tips that skip the questions people actually have.
