Hi there! I’m a digital video journalist at CNBC, based in Los Angeles. I report, write, host, shoot, and edit 1 to 15 minute videos on personal finance, entrepreneurship, careers, wealth and lifestyle for Grow, a partnership between CNBC and investing app, Acorns. Previously, I was an associate producer for CNBC Make It, performing the same duties. I started at CNBC as a rotating news associate, shifting to a new team in the newsroom every 4 months.

I am thrilled to be where I am today. But it was a tough journey to get here. Countless times I questioned my choices and felt consumed by uncertainty and doubt in the future.

But that’s how I found my passion for business news. I realized my struggles in the real world were rooted in an utter lack of real world survival knowledge, which tragically isn’t taught in school. I turned to content about the economy, personal finance, entrepreneurship, investing and the media industry, for empowerment and the courage to pursue what I’m doing today.

As a business journalist, one of my goals is to help empower other people in their quest for survival and pursuing their dreams, which I believe is the heart of business news.

I used to feel so behind in my career, when I compared myself with some of my peers. But my personal journey has made my career and professional identity what it is today. And it’s a journey that I think so many other millennials can relate to 🙂
