I was born and raised in Orange County, California. In 2014 I moved to Lugano, Switzerland to attend Franklin University Switzerland. I graduated from Franklin University Switzerland in May of 2018 with a combined major of International Business Management and Communications/Media studies with a minor in Psychology

​

In August of 2018, I began the Digital Media Creative course at Hyper Island in Stockholm, Sweden. My focus areas at Hyper Island were User research and insights, as well as marketing strategy and content creation.

 

I previously interned at Book a Street Artist in Berlin. There I focused on bookings and artist management as well as analyzing user behavior data from which my findings helped to inform the team and spark discussions regarding which moves to make next as the brand/service evolves and improves. 

​

I wish to continue working on projects that provide a greater service to others and empower creatives who are on their path of success.  I am currently seeking an internship within user research, strategy and design, or content creation, available to begin immediately. 

​

My personal passions include traveling, studying the nature of existence, dancing, making art and creative writing.
