Originally from the Bay Area, I moved to San Diego in 2008 for school, and it quickly became home. At San Diego State University, I pursued dual degrees in Hospitality, Tourism, and Management, as well as Graphic Design. After college, I started my career in print, but my true passion lay in web design. This led me to pursue an M.F.A. in Web Design and New Media from the Academy of Art University, with a strong emphasis on coding and UX/UI.

While studying, I worked full-time, which allowed me to transition seamlessly from print into web design and digital media roles. Over the years, I've gained valuable experience working in various settings, including agencies, in-house marketing teams, and now at the corporate enterprise level.
