As a student at the USC Iovine and Young Academy pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Arts, Technology, and the Business of Innovation, I am passionate about combining design and entrepreneurship. My current role as a Designer at LavaLab, USC's premier entrepreneurship incubator, enables me to contribute to impactful projects while honing my creative expertise.  

My professional experience includes designing billboards and brand guides at AfterQuery, contributing to product design as an intern at July, and leading marketing efforts as VP of Marketing at SEP at USC, where our team successfully doubled club applications. I am motivated by opportunities that allow me to develop UI/UX & Brand direction skills, and I like to work within small teams where I can affect big change.
