Prior to joining McKinsey, I began my career in digital media, working as a journalist and content strategist. My reporting brought me to five continents, where I covered the ways digital technology was spurring societal change.I hold a bachelors degree from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
