Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

I am a graduate of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where I created a self-guided concentration focused on examining decision-making from an interdisciplinary perspective. This entailed taking classes across the University and studying a variety of diverse concepts, including marketing, communication theory, and political science. While at Gallatin, I completed my senior colloquium on The Role of Propaganda in Modern Democracy, and was a co-founder of the Ademos Project, a social marketing venture. Since leaving school, I've been working full time in corporate America (kind of). I have also completed a two month virtual marketing internship for CAREEREALISM, a career advice blog, and another virtual internship for Squidoo.

As always, my ideas here don't reflect those of any organization with which I am associated (including my employer).
