My Story…
I was born in Laguna Niguel, California, but grew up in New Canaan, Connecticut. I attended New Canaan High School and participated in a variety of clubs and varsity sports. I secured an internship with Tauck Tours during my Senior year of High School and the summer before my first semester of college. This exposure to a professional environment with an emphasis on corporate culture and business finance sparked my interest in companies and opportunities with similar offerings.
I always wanted to attend to the University of Southern California. The surreal aspect that my time at the University Park came to an abrupt end is thankfully balanced by the fact that USC exceeded my expectations. I met many driven, interesting and sociable people that have shaped my views and future aspirations. I pursued a major in International Relations and Global Business because I have always been fascinated by global trade, working in foreign countries and the unified global world we are moving towards. I added an emphasis on my major in Marketing and specifically picked International Relations classes that relate to China. I also pursued a minor in Business Finance to give me a holistic view of business functions, markets and strategy for emerging and established companies alike. I was accepted to the prestigious Trojan Marketing Group on campus and have significant experience working with two clients completing pro-bono marketing services. The University of Southern California has provided me with invaluable educational and professional opportunities. The college experience would not be complete without fun and I equally enjoyed my time at USC and exploring around Los Angeles.
2021 has been a whirlwind of uncertainty for many. As of right now, none of us can be sure what the future holds. What I do know is that I am ready for any opportunity. Each step along the way, I have gained experience, that has helped me grow in my professional career and learning how to relate with people from all walks of life. Whatever is next I am excited, prepared and ready to make a difference.
