When Allegra Armas graduated from college, she didn’t have a clear path forward—and she felt like she was already falling behind. But over the past decade, she’s carved out a career rooted in community impact, from connecting fans through sports at the Oakland A’s to driving social impact initiatives at Roku.
In this episode, Keira and Allegra talk about the messy reality of navigating those first jobs, why it’s okay not to have it all figured out at 22, and how to keep your passions alive while climbing the career ladder. Allegra shares her journey of finding purpose in the workplace, her proudest moments at Roku (including building their student app design challenge), and why everything really does happen for a reason.
Whether you’re just starting out or rethinking your next step, this conversation is a reminder that “failure to launch” is just the beginning of the story.
