Office Hours

I launched ELLE’s career column, Office Hours, in February 2020 as a place to ask powerful people about their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. Since then, our team has interviewed everyone from Jane Goodall to Audie Cornish, talking to leaders across all industries.

In April 2024, I hosted and produced the first Office Hours Live event in partnership with The Standard, East Village. I moderated a panel featuring Amber Asher, CEO of Standard International; Ah-Niyah Gold, founder of A Gold Consulting; Marjon Carlos, cultural critic, creative consultant, and host of the Your Favorite Auntie podcast; and Priya Krishna, food reporter and cookbook author. After the panel, guests participated in guided career vision boarding led by Margot Lee, founder of No Particular Order, cutting and pasting old ELLE magazines to create custom journals they could then take home.
