MILESTONES
My career roadmap has been somewhat defined.
In high school I joined the engineering program. Throughout this program I new I wanted to explore Engineering in college and later committed to Georgia Tech.
In college I was interested in how businesses work as well as engineering so I decided to study Industrial Engineering and join the consulting club.
In Consulting club I did a pro-bono project that lead me to experience what a client facing job would look like.
After my junior year I did an internship at EY, and learned more about how businesses in the Financial Sector work.
Recently I enrolled in a class called startup lab where I met the original founder of Pathways.me and joined the team to work on trying to bridge the knowledge gap of how people break into their careers.
Finally I joined Create-X to further work on Pathways.me and learn more about the startup world in general.
