ADHD At Work: The Struggles & Triumphs with Carm Tang

In this episode, we chat with Carmelita Tang about her experience working in the 9-5 systems and corporate structures as a person with ADHD. She gets into the struggles and triumphs that come along that journey for so many of us with ADHD. Lean in and hear about that journey. 

Carmelita Tang currently works in the Executive Development field for the Ivey Academy at the Ivey Business School.  Currently in her 16th year of her professional career, Carmelita spent the bulk of time working within the Higher Education field and Professional Associations such as the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario.  Diagnosed with ADHD in the latter part of her University studies, Carmelita has been “fumbling towards excellency” (Sarah McLachlan reference) ever since then.

An active community member, Carmelita enjoys contributing to boards, community event planning committees and promoting all the cool things happening in Downtown London. 
An avid “Sports-Mom”, often seen on rinks, fields, running tracks and making awesome memories with her friends, partner and her Mom.

A passionate advocate for education, Carmelita received a London City Council Appointment on the London Council for Adult Education. 
Carmelita is currently pursuing an MEd with a focus on Sustainability, Creativity and Innovation… in her (pretend) “spare time”. 
On a good day, she gets 6 hours of sleep – but is looking to increase that.
