I grew up immersed in the arts — surrounded by movies, theatre, and the magic of Burbank, California, where storytelling is practically in the water. From the earliest age, I was captivated by how art transforms complex ideas into something a single person can feel deeply.
That instinct has shaped everything: how I approach a campaign, how I step into a role, how I light a stage. I’m a PR strategist, a performer, and a collaborator, and those three things are far less different than they sound.
01 – Background
Denver to Florence and Back to Burbank – Always Learning
I hold a B.A. in Communications & Psychology from the University of Denver. I graduated Summa Cum Laude, Hornbeck Scholar, Dean’s Scholar, and with an Academic Achievement Award in Psychology two years running. I studied abroad in Florence, Italy, which only deepened my belief that being a global citizen broadens understanding and that art is a universal language.
Now I’m pursuing my MA in PR & Advertising at USC, where I am apart of the Center for PR, sharpening everything from data storytelling to persuasive writing to improvisational leadership. This shows something that I’ve always had the itch to understand, why people are moved and how can I move them?
02 – PR Life
Data Driven. Story Obsessed.
My PR journey started with a place close to my heart: I revived the University of Denver Theatre Department’s Instagram. I created content people actually cared about, not just scheduled posts. I also pushed in growing the department beyond social media and into out of home advertising.
I also had the pleasure to be a part of event integration into University of Denver’s orientation. It was an incredible opportunity to present to at a symposium and to the Chancellor, Jeremy Haefner.
Today I’m a Talent Agency Intern at CCA Agency evaluating profiles, coordinating auditions, and managing talent databases across film, TV, commercial, and print. my approach to everything is the same: match the right story to the right audience, and do it with intention.
03 – Theatre Life
From the Booth to Center Stage
I grew up always in love with theatre. I started singing in my elementary school choir and found a passion for performance. From then on I was in show choir throughout middle school and high school as well as in plays. Even when I transitioned into college, I didn’t let my love of the arts die.
At DU Theatre, I lived in both worlds: performing lead and ensemble roles in major productions, and designing the lights that made them land. I learned that lighting isn’t decoration, it’s storytelling. Every cue is a decision about what the audience feels next and the beat shifts within a story. On stage, I’ve played multiple roles from leads to ensembles. Theatre taught me how to lead cross-functional teams, manage pressure with grace, and never, ever miss a cue.
Whether its Theatre or PR: The Show Must Always Go On
04 – Personal Life and Hobbies
Off The Clock
Besides watching movies, TV, and theatre (which is a given), there’s anime, my ultimate obsession and a lifelong love that shows no signs of slowing down. Alongside that: video games, travelling, exploring, and saying yes to things I’ve never tried before. I’m endlessly curious, whether about people, culture, or art. Florence made sure of that.
I always grew up around water so it feels natural to be around it and in it. I often scuba dive in Catalina or when we travel. I love going up to Yosemite and Bass Lake as I grew up going there every summer my whole life. If there’s water, I’m there.
And at the center of it all: Lola, my sweet Belgian Malinois, who is smarter than most people I’ve met and infinitely more loyal.
Creative Enough to Dream It. Analytical Enough to Make it Work
05 – What’s Next
The Future I’m Building Towards
I want to work at the intersection of entertainment and PR. Where strategic communication meets genuine cultural impact. Brand communications for a studio, talent PR, or Gaming and Anime PR, entertainment-focused campaigns where creativity and measurable results come together.
Ultimately, I want to shape the narratives around the stories people love. The stories I love in the industry I grew up watching…
