Hours of Content
I believe in building a career that works for you - not the other way around. That’s why I create content, workshops, and coaching experiences that prioritize clarity, creativity, and community.
I’ve worked with brands like Handshake, Amazon Web Services, Procter & Gamble, and TED Conferences to elevate how they connect with young professionals. Now, I bring that same energy to the platforms I run and the people I serve; especially first-gen, BIPOC, and historically excluded talent.
Building Careers, Telling Stories, and Making Work Make SenseI help Gen Z professionals build careers they’re excited about - and help brands, schools, and employers connect with them through content, strategy, and speaking.
From consulting with recruiting teams to collaborating with brands, my services are designed to bridge the gap between Gen Z talent and the people trying to reach them. Whether you're hiring, storytelling, or both; I’m here to help.
I’ve spoken at universities, conferences, and company events nationwide on topics like career clarity, personal branding, and workplace culture. My keynotes are candid, energizing, and always leave candidates feeling empowered in their budding career journeys.
What started as a blog during my job search has become a go-to platform for over 220,000 early-career professionals. At The Ninth Semester, I share job opportunities, free resources, and career content that centers honesty, access, and empowerment.
