I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, California, and am a senior at California State University, Fullerton. I am majoring in Communications with a concentration in Advertising and minoring in Digital Marketing. I work as a Visual Media Specialist for CSUF Associated Students, Inc. (ASI) and freelance as a photographer. I have been pursuing photography since 2019 and videography since 2023.

I discovered my passion for Communications and Advertising during my time at my previous job, Aptitude Labs. Initially hired as a COVID Sample Collection Assistant, I was later entrusted with tasks beyond my original role, such as creating graphics, social media posts, banners, and flyers. Through these experiences, I realized how much I enjoyed designing visuals for advertising, which inspired me to major in Communications. I love working with Adobe programs like Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Lightroom, and I’m always excited to explore new creative tools.
