Here’s a talk I gave to a media class at Quinnipiac University in Los Angeles in March 2019 about my 10 must-dos for freelancing and personal branding regardless of your industry. Thank you, Professor Delia Maldonaldo and her delightful students for having me. I am sorry, if the sound and video quality is poor, it was recorded with my Google Pixel 3XL.

- Thou shalt get a mentor
- Thou shalt network
