After graduating from the University of Michigan with a liberal arts degree in December 2020 (aka right in the middle of COVID-19), I had no idea what kind of job I wanted. When the European borders reopened, I traveled for six weeks to celebrate post-grad life. Before I left, I made a promise to myself: I’d have a job by the time I returned to the States. And I did exactly that.

Without any connections,
– I secured a role on Arianna Huffington’s executive team.
– I joined August as a founding team member.
– I was hired at Zambezi, an elite ad agency founded by Kobe Bryant, focused on sports, tech, finance, and CPG.

My hack: I’m a strategic communicator who maximizes every networking opportunity to expand my connections and land my dream job.
