Career Coaching & Resources

After seven years leading partnerships with Amazon and Apple at Snap, I now run a Large Customer Sales team at Wondery (Amazon). My path has taken me across nearly every area of the advertising industry—programmatic, social, branded content, podcast—and taught me how to operate in complex, high‑stakes environments. I also (proudly) have ADHD, and I’ve learned how to turn it from a challenge into one of my biggest strengths: an ability to move quickly, stay curious, and think creatively under pressure. Today, I’m passionate about sharing those lessons to help others build careers that fit their strengths, interests, and brains.

As a former litigation paralegal for 3 years at a top NY law firm, I've worked with many college graduates to prepare their applications and interview for similar positions. I also took part in the interviewing process for paralegals at my firm. My time as a paralegal was a formative experience in my legal journey, and I'm excited to help you take that step!

I've always been fascinated by the way stories drive people to make the decisions they do in life. I received a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature in my undergraduate studies, along with minors in Creative Writing and Chinese Language. I understand, then, the power that stories hold to shape our lives.

I also participated in panels and workshops, sharing insights on industry trends and best practices. This experience not only allowed me to empower aspiring professionals but also deepened my understanding of the challenges they face in a competitive job market. It was incredibly fulfilling to witness students grow in confidence and clarity as they prepared to launch their careers. Having successfully secured interviews and job offers from top tech companies, I am eager to share my knowledge and experiences with students and professionals to help them advance their careers.

I coach because I’ve experienced firsthand how transformative mentorship can be — especially for those navigating institutions that weren’t built with them in mind. As a law school graduate, federal judicial clerk, and former tech policy employee, I’ve worked across some of the most competitive legal and policy environments. But long before that, I was a first-generation college student from a working-class, Caribbean-American family, who found refuge and possibility in online communities. Over the years, I’ve helped others chart similarly complex paths — from public interest law to BigLaw, clerkships to tech policy. Coaching allows me to pay forward the support I once needed, while offering strategic, honest guidance to clients who are looking to break into competitive spaces or pursue unconventional goals. My approach is thoughtful, individualized, and informed by deep experience in law, government, and the tech sector. Whether you're applying to law school, preparing for a federal clerkship, or considering a pivot, I’ll work with you to build a compelling narrative and a clear strategy — grounded in authenticity, excellence, and long-term vision.
