First‑Gen Career Strategist • National Speaker • Award‑Winning Author
Daisy De Anda is a first‑generation, Mexican‑American speaker from Southern California whose work champions equity, confidence, and cultural pride in professional spaces. A nationally sought‑after voice, she speaks on DEI, authentic networking, and professional branding, delivering high‑energy, actionable sessions for law schools, national summits, and career conferences across the country.

As the Founder of Dayz & Co., Daisy empowers first‑generation professionals, college students, and early career leaders through strategic tools like her signature #LifeResume method, salary negotiation frameworks, and LinkedIn optimization strategies. Her coaching helps first‑gen talent articulate their value, elevate their presence, and navigate career transitions with clarity and confidence.

Daisy is also an award‑winning author, recognized with the American Association of Law Libraries’ Spectrum 2025 Article of the Year Award for her co‑authored work on the impact of paid legal internships in underserved communities. A former single teen college mom, she now pays it forward by building pathways she once needed — for the next generation of “little daisies” entering the legal profession.

Her mission is simple and powerful: help first‑gen professionals lead with authenticity, orgullo, and purpose. When she’s not speaking or coaching, she’s watching true‑crime documentaries, doing R&B yoga, or traveling with her family to pueblos mágicos across México.
