We are excited to host Rhea Harsoor as she shares her insights and journey from Investment Banking to Media and Entertainment TODAY AT 3PM ET!
Date: TODAY, Friday, October 27th
Time: 3:00 pm ET
By day, Rhea Harsoor works in management consulting at UTA via MediaLink, and by night, she runs ABCDGen, a social media platform and community she scaled from the ground up to bring humor, memes, and entertainment to the South Asian community. Starting her career on Wall Street, Rhea quickly found that her perspective as an Indian American in a predominantly white environment gave birth to a multitude of uniquely hysterical experiences. To celebrate and share her comedy with the world, she created her meme page ABCDGen, short for American Born Confused Desi Generation. Beyond working in finance and consulting, Rhea is also an award-winning stand-up comedian who performs regularly around New York City & Chicago.
