What did you go to college for and what are you doing now?

One thing that I always enjoy learning about people is when they go to school for one thing and end up in something wildly different. Sometimes it's by chance or it's a deliberate effort. Sometimes people get opportunities and take them.

I started in business and economics, then did an MBA at Harvard, convinced I’d spend my life in corporate strategy and finance.

I did that for a while—consulting, then leadership roles—good salary, long hours. Over time, people kept coming to me for career and learning advice: how to choose paths, negotiate offers, pivot roles, go back to school.

I realized that was the work that energized me, so I shifted into education and career development full‑time. Now I coach students and professionals, design training, and help people build careers that actually fit who they are.
