Consulting

Coming from a 10+ year background in media and entertainment, I take narrative lessons from the industry that knows them best, and apply them to business and career strategies.

For businesses, I offer content creation, competitive analysis, customer interviews, & subject matter expertise. For individuals, I offer consulting on business school admission, career pivots, creating unique opportunities, and more. Check out my consulting page for more info.

Podcast

I announced my podcast, Your Career, Unscripted, through a CNN Op-ed. I interview business leaders and spotlight young professionals to showcase the different types of career journeys and stories - and to highlight unique challenges, values, and perspectives.

I hope these episodes inspire you to build a career on your own terms.

Portfolio

I have recently written about my journey for CNN, Poets & Quants, and Columbia. I have written an AI Opinion Piece for The Austin Chronicle.

I wrote my MBA thesis on the impact of emerging tech after interviewing 60+ leaders in tech & entertainment. Check out my work examples.

Read about my journey

I pivoted from a career in television and theater acting to Columbia Business School - and now I work in media and tech strategy.

It has been a windy and unconventional journey. To learn about it, check out the "my journey" page - where I break down my path.
