NODE
I created NODE as a central place for young professionals to grow, connect, and build real career momentum across North American city hubs—without getting siloed inside one industry, city, or social circle.
After college, I missed the built-in environment for learning and meeting people beyond my bubble. I wanted to keep learning while building relationships beyond one city or industry.
As founder and Executive Director, I own the concept, strategy, recruitment, workshops, speaker outreach, operations, and logistics.
Our speaker network includes World Bank, Amazon, Google, OpenAI, Slalom, Harvard, and C-suite leaders.
People do not engage because a program exists. They engage when its identity, programming, and outreach make them feel it was designed for them.
From an isolated post-grad feeling to a connected professional ecosystem.
