A Little About Me:

The Power of Connection

At the heart of everything I do is a love for connection, bringing people together, sparking meaningful conversations, and creating spaces where others can thrive What has always driven me, both in my studies and in my career, is people. I have a deep passion for building communities, creating environments where others feel supported, and fostering genuine collaboration.

During my time in leadership roles—whether in the classroom, on teams, or as Education Vice President of my sorority—I discovered my true passion for connection. I had the privilege of welcoming new members, leading diversity and inclusion initiatives, and planning events that brought more than 150 women together each week. Whether I was speaking about financial well-being, body positivity, or simply encouraging authentic conversations, I found real joy in bringing people together for a shared purpose.

Being fluent in both English and Spanish has also been central to who I am. It’s allowed me to bridge cultures, connect more deeply with others, and build meaningful relationships in and outside of the workplace. In my internships and professional experiences, I’ve always gravitated toward the human side of projects—whether it’s collaborating across teams, helping organize community initiatives, or supporting others in reaching their goals.

At my core, I believe connection is what drives success—both personal and professional. My journey so far has been guided by that belief, and I’m excited to keep creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and inspired.

My passion for photography

Photography has always been a part of my life. Growing up in Santa Barbara, I had access to incredible natural light and landscapes, which made picking up a camera feel natural. I started with digital photography classes and later transitioned to film, where I developed a deeper appreciation for authenticity. Film taught me to slow down, create something lasting and timeless, and bring an idea to life, capturing beauty that often goes unnoticed.

While studying Communication and Marketing at the University of San Diego, I built on that creative foundation, learning how powerful visual storytelling can be. Photography sharpened my ability to see beyond the obvious, to create with purpose, and to connect people to real moments without needing to explain them.
