About

For brand partnerships or sponsorship deals please email hello@influencermoso.com. My mission is to help millions of students launch meaningful careers - and to fix early-career hiring for good. For the last 4 years, I’ve worked directly inside this space. I ran a recruiting business that placed over 1,000 students into internships and full-time roles, partnered with 200+ employers, hosted career fairs across the country, and spoke with every stakeholder in the system: students, hiring managers, recruiters, and universities. One thing became clear: Students aren’t struggling to find jobs - they’re struggling to understand what jobs they’re a fit for and how to compete. That’s why I founded Runway, which helps students: - Find the right internships and jobs faster - Understand exactly how to improve their resumes - Prepare for interviews with personalized strategies - Identify skill gaps and strengths for every opportunity We’ve grown to 29,000+ users and a 70,000+ subscriber community in just a few months. I’m also one of the fastest-growing career creators on social media, with 350k+ followers across LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok - where I share actionable career advice for students and young professionals trying to grow in their careers. If you're a student looking to grow, a university looking to innovate, or an employer hiring early-career talent - let’s connect.
