Working Gal's Guide

Today's guest is Charlene Hew, a UX Designer from Vancouver, Canada. Charlene tells us what UX design is, whether or not you have to be a super technical person or not to pursue it (spoiler alert: you don't!), whether or not you need to go to college or not to pursue it (spoiler alert: not necessarily!), and tips on building out a portfolio. She also dives into her experiences working at a enterprise sized organization versus a start-up organization, and the pros and cons of both. If you're interested in UX Design, this is a great episode for you to tune into!

In today's episode I chat with Carolyn Twersky, an assistant editor for Seventeen covering topics including celebrities, entertainment, and beauty. Carolyn talks about how she had to create her own opportunities as a teen to get writing and journalism experience, and how that determination helped her get into Northwestern's journalism program. During school she completed internships at Seventeen, Art News, and The Cut, and she spills on the details of how she was able to get them. 

Tune in for Carolyn's advice and tips to anyone who wants to get into the magazine industry, as well as some tidbits about her favorite celebrity interviews.

On today's episode I chatted with Gabby Dionisio, a 9th grade teacher from North Carolina. Gabby shares the self-reflection she went though when she decided she no longer wanted to pursue English and Journalism during college, and how she realized her true passion and skills were better suited for Education. In a very open and vulnerable chat, Gabby talks about the reality of being a teacher, shares the best parts and challenges of her job, and discusses how she recently started her own podcast. Can't wait for you to tune in and get inspired!
