Transcript
Could you walk me through your career path, starting with your experiences in college? Did you have any internships or jobs before your current role?
I was an undergrad at the University of Houston, where I studied finance. While there, I had an internship as a business analyst for a midstream oil and gas company called Targa Resources. After that internship, I had another internship as an audit intern at KPMG.
That led me up to graduation. Once I graduated, I had a full-time role at IBM doing consulting work. I did that for about four to five years.
Then I actually went back to school for a year-long program in the music industry. I got into the music industry and currently, what I'm doing leads me to the present day.
I do part-time work as a partner at a boutique consulting firm here in Houston. That company was founded by a friend of mine from college.
