Foodie, reader, napper…
Boot camper, traveler, and pizza connoisseur—these are just a few descriptions you might gather about me.
Growing up, I always knew I wanted to help people—I just wasn’t sure how. As a shy child, photography became my creative outlet, allowing me to tell stories without words. Fascinated by people, cultures, and the intricate ways our diverse world intertwines, I pursued a degree in International Studies. My undergraduate journey taught me the subtle art of cross-cultural communication, heightened empathy, critical thinking, and the importance of research and context. It also took me to Paris, France, for my junior year of college, where I experienced my very own Kate Chopin-style awakening. The culture shock made every moment more captivating—each billboard and ad became a puzzle to decode and understand.
Returning stateside, I realized my passion lay in storytelling—whether through social media, advertising, or building a brand. My purpose is simple: connecting people with needs to the resources that fulfill them, all through the power of story. A good story resonates, evokes emotion, and inspires action. This passion drove me to pursue a master’s degree in PR and Advertising at USC, where I earned a Dean’s Scholarship and graduated as the program’s top scholar. Today, I use that knowledge to create impactful stories through PR placements, media relations, and compelling content.
