I started at Google on Pi Day, March 14, 2022 as an Advertising Solutions Architect in gTech Professional Services for Shopping! While my onboarding the first week was remote, I finally went to the office in my second week! This is a short and sweet vlog of my first day at the office where I went to the HUD315, HUD345 and 9th Ave Chelsea Google offices. Be sure to read the onscreen commentary to learn about my experience so far and how it’s like as a Google employee!
I’ve tried the dining and restaurant rewards app Seated for about 4 months now, and I can’t believe I haven’t been on it earlier! I can get money back from eating at restaurants or by ordering food for pickup or delivery, so I wanted to show everyone the process so you can learn how it works too. Especially when in New York City, there’s so many options near me, why wouldn’t I take advantage of it? This is not a sponsored video, but I wish it was because it’s such a cool app!
I try Seated for a whole day to show you the process when it comes to exploring and finding places to eat, the booking or ordering process, the receipt validation process, and even redeeming for rewards. It is all so easy, and you can do this too!

I take you into a weekend in my life in New York City! This summer, we have a lot of fun plans, and I show you all of the delicious food I had this weekend, swimming, $1 oysters happy hour, errands, and grooming cats! We also celebrated Addison’s mom’s birthday and had fun with friends on helping them buy a bike at Target and playing cards (more like wrekt).

Finally back in the office! After a pandemic that has made us permanently work from home, we returned back to the office. I do want to note that even back before the pandemic, my life actually didn’t change that much since we were already working from home and only going into the office when needed. Since I’m the office champion, I made it so I went in twice a week for morale, but otherwise not much has changed other than not going to the client site as frequent.
In addition, the COVID restrictions have also changed since the time of this recording (back in June), but the procedure was reflective of how it was like then and not now.
If you just received an offer in technology consulting or just want to know what you’re getting yourself into, you’re probably beyond confused on exactly HOW it really is working in a consulting firm. It’s definitely not a typical corporate company, so buckle your seatbelts and get transported to the world of technology consulting!
In this video, I go over what kind of lifestyle of work to expect, your clientele, different project methodologies, what can help you get promoted and work you’re expected to do on top of client work, and some tips I have for you on how to get staffed on your first project. This will give you an accurate depiction of how your life can be as a technology consultant! I’ve also gathered information and experiences from other technology consultants as well.
My channel focuses on professional development but I also highlight my experience, lifestyle, and insights into a career in technology consulting in hopes to encourage more women to consider this amazing career – especially in STEM!
Any questions at all about the information I provided or about Accenture or technology consulting, please let me know!

I released a video last week on my debt-free journey, and as promised, here are the tips I have on how to save money! New York City is notorious for being super expensive, but it is still possible to save a lot of money! I tell you all the tips I used to ACTUALLY save enough money to pay off $50,000 of student loans in one year!
Despite the title, I broke this video up into two parts. The first half is focused on general tips ANYONE can use. The second half is focused on not-so-obvious tips New Yorkers can use while living in this expensive city! I’ve even given these tips to my friends born and raised in NYC and they weren’t even aware of half of these tips you can save even more money.
I wanted to note that I think the BIGGEST reasons why many can’t meet their financial goals are really denial, lifestyle creep, and discipline. Just because you live in NYC or an expensive city like LA or SF doesn’t mean you can’t save. In fact, I’ve compared my budget to someone down south and I actually spend less than him. Due to COVID19, almost everyone is trying to spend less (and even saving their stimulus package when you should be “stimulating” the economy) and some are even missing bills. The first step on meeting your financial goals with a fool-proof plan no matter how bad it gets is really acknowledging where you’re at and what you need to do to meet them, being aware of lifestyle creep, and lastly, DISCIPLINE to stick to the plan. In my video, I’m not trying to teach how to live like a barbarian, but there are SO many tips anyone can use to still live a good life and save your money so it’s sustainable.

In 2019, student loans reached an all-time high of $1.41 trillion! That is RIDICULOUS! I want to tell you that you can do it and that it IS possible as you can see with my debt-free journey. This is also a difficult time for many financially due to COVID19, so I wanted to assure you that you can do this, and when there is a will, there is a way.
I attended Boston University, and while I had grants, it wasn’t enough, so I had to take $50,000 in student loans. I was super determined to pay it off because I hated the feeling of being in debt. Today, I’m releasing a video on my debt-free journey in how I paid off ALL $50K in about one year while living in New York City and hopefully this can inspire you to get started on your journey today!

With this video, I’m also branching out into money because who doesn’t like talking about money, but specifically, in how to be frugal yet still have fun! I have a video next week that will teach you all my tips on how I saved money to pay off $50K of student loans

Last week I released a Part 1 on how to get a job at Accenture if you’re interested in technology consulting. This is Part 2! This is a two-part video series because it’s chock full of information and tips. The first part was about the career fair, application process, and first round interview (behavioral). The second part is about the final round interview (case interview and behavioral interview with executives) and exactly why Accenture hired me!
Regardless if you’re interested in technology consulting or Accenture, I think these videos would help IMMENSELY as all these tips apply for all job searches regardless what industry or walks of life. I’m sharing this with you because I know Covid-19 has pushed us to these awful times of being laid off and getting your offers rescinded, so hopefully these will get you back on your feet!
