Meet your mentor, Talia.

Talia works in publishing at Penguin Random House. She helps gets books to the finish line by working with the editorial, design, and production teams.

She grew up in California, went to UC Berkeley, and studied English. Talia is creative, empathetic, and loves helping others figure out their goals—especially students exploring college and careers.

You and Talia have some shared interests! You both enjoy drawing, painting, fashion, and TV shows like Love Island. She loves 80s/90s rom-coms and is into interior design and secondhand/vintage shopping. Talia is excited to guide you as you explore your interests, discover what you might want to study or do in the future, and try new experiences.

She’ll be there to listen, answer questions, and give advice to help you feel confident about your next steps.
