About Me


Currently, I am utilizing my years of dance training by working as a performer at the Walt Disney World Resort and at Universal Studios Orlando. I was recently a Professional Intern for Alliance Marketing also at the Walt Disney World in Florida. My department, Global Content Development, develops creative video content to support marketing tactics for the Disney Destinations Marketing group. I am looking to transition back into the marketing field soon.

Previously, I have held various internships and jobs that have given me experience in marketing, public relations, business, sales, management, and law. I worked as Aquatics Manager for the City of Milpitas, overseeing a staff of over 75 lifeguards.

I graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Business Economics and in Communication  and with a minor in Professional Writing, Business Communication. While at school, I was a Regents Scholar, completed the College of Letters and Science Honors Program, and graduated with High Honors. During my junior year, I studied abroad at the Università Bocconi in Milan, Italy.

After graduating, I traveled to Hong Kong to work as an intern at Evie Consulting and as a research assistant at the City University of Hong Kong. At the university, I worked on a more extensive version of my Senior Honors Thesis, which regards perceptions of intellectual property across different cultures.

I love dancing; I have been a member of various performing and competitive dance teams and companies. Additionally, I have held the position of Stage Manager for the Santa Barbara Dance Alliance and Assistant Stage Manager for the UCSB Dance Department. In my free time, I also enjoy theatre, traveling, snowboarding, reading, and the outdoors.

My professional interests include marketing and communication, law, international issues, and entertainment. In the future, I  hope to gain a full time position in marketing.
