Transcript
Could you walk me through your career path? Start with your experiences in college. Did you have any internships or jobs before your current role?
Absolutely. I started undergrad in 2016, freelancing as a debate instructor for high school students preparing for Lincoln Douglas debate tournaments. Shortly after, I began work-study, helping with event setup and teardown at my university.
While in college, I also picked up additional experiences. I tutored in courses I excelled in, like macroeconomics and writing. I also interned in various fields: politics, law, and education.
I rounded out my time by starting at a law firm after graduation, working as a legal analyst, which is similar to a paralegal role. From there, I moved to Amazon, and now I've landed in consulting.
