I grew up in Los Angeles, and I’m the first in my family to go to college. Being first-gen gave me a different kind of drive, and because of the barriers I’ve overcome and the doors I keep opening, I see the possibilities as endless. Today I’m studying public relations, advertising, and marketing at the University of Southern California.
But I didn’t start here. I began as a chemistry major, fascinated by the building blocks of the universe and drawn to the beauty industry, where I hoped to help people look and feel their best. When I discovered PR my sophomore year, I realized I could do that on a much larger scale by helping brands grow and move culture.
Advertising reflects what a society is ready to accept, and I want to help push that conversation forward. In a saturated media landscape, my guiding principle is simple: if you make everything for everyone, you’ve made nothing for anyone.
That mindset helped my team win a creative competition for Lenovo with a campaign repositioning Yoga, and it guides my work as an intern at Eclat Public Relations, where I’m constantly learning how far the PR world reaches.
Beyond work, I volunteer with Women and Youth Supporting Each Other (WYSE), inspiring young women who are searching for their purpose, just as I once was. Singing, running, yoga, and meditation keep me grounded, and my zest for life keeps me saying yes to opportunity.
If you’d like to work together or just talk branding, culture, or storytelling, I’d love to connect!
