I graduated from UCLA in 2020 with a major in computer science and minor in theater. I've been involved with the creative arts most of my life, from performing with the San Francisco Boys Chorus at the first inauguration of President Barack Obama to playing trumpet around the country as a member of the UCLA Bruin Marching Band. I love working on cross-disciplinary teams to deliver high-quality experiences.
