I came into USC eagerly wanting to immerse myself in the startup scene and work on exciting innovative projects with other students and alumni. I met James Bottom, the director of the Launchpad, and after a few weeks of meetings and figuring out how things work there we decided that I could take on a greater role and he suggested I take on the responsibilities of the Events Lead, where I was tasked with reaching out to LA based startups and companies that are interested in developing talent pipelines with USC. I also developed methods of capturing student entrepreneur's emails to include them in a newsletter that would help them with bootstrapping their companies.
