I have been learned how to hone the craft of screenwriting. I have earned a master's in school. I know how the cake is baked. Now, I would like to sell that cake. How do I set up shop?
You could also enter contests that'll get you and your script in front of producers, agents, etc. Like Stage 32's contests (www.stage32.com/scriptservices/contests).
What did your college professor say to do? A lot of us are still waiting for the sale to change our lives. Might never come but whatever. Aim for year 2025-6. Year 2024 is over.

Also going Transmedia need not be expensive to those who can juggle codes and social media apps. Ideas become an Eco System of content instead of pages in a slug pile. Quoting Houston Howard, "Make your story really stinking big."

First you gotta make a business plan for your bakery shop, Kevin Enners, then you gotta... Haha
Network/build relationships. It's the most important thing in my opinion. Here are some blogs on networking: www.stage32.com/blog/tags/networking-41

You’ll need more than one cake ready to go! 4 or 5 to see and share.

First thing is learn how to proofread. "I have been learned,...." Really?

I am going to stick with your cake metaphor.
So do you run the shop or do you have a sales person, let’s call them an agent? I would say your shop isn’t turnover enough yet for staff.
So are you focusing on a stall in the park on weekends selling to people walking by. Micro and low budget filmmakers.
Are you look at exotic cakes with glazed meats. Perhaps that will appeal to an overseas market?
Are you trying to sell to Five Star restaurants that have existing pastry chefs. Let’s call them Studios.
So how would you approach these?
The only advice is that you’ll need an intro for the five stars.

hello! First of all, I think you should stop making up stories about writers.

I agree with Arthur. Stories about writers are generally not well-received in this industry.
