THE SQUAD
Our team is comprised of really smart contributors, all of whom have also had their careers significantly impacted by the effects of the recent epidemic. We're here to help our community get through these times together.

Founder & Chief Editor
Life is crazy right now in 2020. I got one too many calls from incredibly smart, talented people saying "I've been furloughed". I decided I wanted to do something about it, and here we are!
​
By day, I am a business development director at a global professional services firm.
​
By night, I also have a website/podcast called Awkward Networker where I help people build their personal/professional networks. Not much handshaking happening right now, so I'm building this out instead. Stay positive. Do good.

Business Contributor
Back in April, I received the unfortunate call that I would be placed on an indefinite furlough. After taking a few days to figure out what that actually means, I decided to partner with Sean in hopes of creating a website that would bring the #furloughcommunity together to share resources that would help in these uncertain times.
​
Before being furloughed, I've spent the past 8-years of experience in leadership, consulting, business development, sales, and operations within The Walt Disney Company. I work with senior level executives to help transform their organizations internal culture and customer experience. I'm also a continuous learner, studying an Executive MBA at Villanova University with an expected graduation of May 2021.
