I got lucky with my first real job. 🍀
At UC Irvine’s Executive Education team, I started as a student assistant—but became “the website guy” among Orange County’s education and business leaders. I managed online course portals, posted lecture materials, photos, and event videos 📚🎥, and made sure the virtual classroom ran smoothly for every cohort.
When life pulled me away from school, they didn’t let go. They let me work remotely until I could return.
That trust meant everything.
In that role, I got to apply design and delivery in a real-world setting. I learned what executive business education looked like from the inside. I built platforms that helped leaders grow. 💼🌱
More than that, I got to work with people I truly admired—and who saw something in me before I fully did.
