Meet Yumi Wilson
As a tenured professor, podcast host, and aspiring career coach, I empower individuals to thrive in today’s media and tech landscape. Through my podcast, “AI in Journalism,” I discuss practical insights and effective strategies for leveraging AI tools in media. I also offer personalized services such as LinkedIn profile makeovers and resume optimization to help individuals navigate their career paths confidently.
As a former corporate communications manager at LinkedIn, I traveled the globe, helping journalists, communicators, and executives enhance their professional presence. This experience gave me a deep understanding of how to leverage AI for creative and professional growth—from building websites to crafting compelling content—without the need for complex technical skills.
My approach is all about meeting people where they are and guiding them through crucial career transitions, whether moving from traditional journalism to digital media or starting a new path altogether.
Through resume and LinkedIn optimization services, personalized coaching, how-to webinars, and my podcast and newsletter, I empower individuals to take the next step in their careers confidently and clearly.
Beyond journalism and AI, I’m driven to help people from all walks of life embrace change and discover their full potential. Whether through my podcast, speaking engagements, or one-on-one coaching, I’m here to support and inspire those ready to begin their next chapter.
