When working at a Fortune 200 firm as a consultant, an abrupt pandemic layoff prompted me to start up something of my own. Powered by my growth mindset, I knew I had to flip this low into a positive milestone. From being an MBA and an engineer, this forced move from the corporate world led me to freelance and run my own company today.

My company - BRANDxDASH is a personal branding firm that offers B2C services, including resume & cover letters, LinkedIn optimization, content writing, ghost-writing, and data analytics for professionals, thought leaders, and entrepreneurs. Working with clients across 79+ countries, BRANDxDASH proudly elevates individuals' brand presence and fulfils their career goals by offering client-centric services worldwide.

My work at BRANDxDASH is an amalgamation of my skill sets and my passion for empowering others. I write daily on (and lead by example by) embracing 'At-Home Freelancing for Women' and enjoy advocating financial independence on my social media network. Along with growing my business, my idea of relaxing is driving and drinking iced black coffee.
