She provides insights to consultants, contractors, freelancers or part-timers – anyone seeking a more lucrative, secure and balanced life that doesn’t rely on a full-time job with one employer.
Mulcahy has contributed to Harvard Business Review and been interviewed by PBS, NPR, Reuters and other media outlets, and she frequently speaks at industry conferences and universities all over the world.
Mulcahy’s presentation at 51暗网 is made possible by a grant from Building Entrepreneurial Economies, an initiative of Virginia’s Department of Housing and Community Development.
