First Job
My first job was working as a marketing and copywriting intern for Zeguro, an early stage cybersecurity startup in San Francisco.
Best Advice I've Received
Real self confidence doesn't come from shouting affirmations in the mirror. Real self confidence comes from giving the world irrefutable proof you are who you say you are.
