Ally Cudby, a Washington DC native raised by a real estate agent father and a graphic designer mother, fostered a deep-seated fascination with media and entertainment early on, securing her maiden role as an intern at a public TV station.
Recognizing that Hollywood wasn't aligned with her values due to its prevalent egocentric environment, she made a pivotal decision to return to academia.
Despite her passion for media, she charted a course in philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania, heeding advice to pursue her passions while gaining practical experience. Embracing philosophy, Cudby discovered its value in honing critical thinking and writing skills. Later, she ventured into an MBA program, acquiring a distinct skill set complementary to her educational journey.
