A Little More About Me
I was born and raised in Newport Beach, California, where I grew up surrounded by family, friends, and a community that played a huge role in shaping who I am today. As the oldest of three sisters and a graduate of Mater Dei High School, I've always valued the relationships and experiences that have made me who I am.
​
When it came time for college, I knew I wanted to step outside my comfort zone. As much as I loved home, I wanted to challenge myself, meet new people, and experience something different. That decision brought me to the University of Arizona, and it's turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made. Through new friendships, leadership opportunities, and professional experiences, I've grown in ways I never could have imagined.
Â
Today, I'm a junior studying Marketing at the Eller College of Management, with a minor in Psychology and a Sports Management Certificate. I've always been a people person, and I love that marketing allows me to combine my interest in understanding people with creativity, communication, and strategy. Looking ahead, I hope to build a career in marketing, communications, or corporate partnerships, ideally in the sports and entertainment industries, where I can continue building relationships and bringing people together.
Â
No matter where life takes me, I hope to carry the values I was raised with, stay close to the people who inspire me, and never stop challenging myself to grow.
The Things That Shape Me
The people, places, and values that have influenced who I am.
NY or Nowhere
I visited New York City for the first time the summer after my senior year of high school, right as I was preparing to start a new chapter at the University of Arizona. It was such a formative time in my life, and I immediately caught the NYC bug. I fell in love with the energy, the people, and the feeling that anything was possible. Since then, I've dreamed of calling the city home. With my passion for the business side of sports and entertainment, I can't think of a more exciting place to build my career. New York inspires me to dream big, embrace new opportunities, and keep pushing myself outside my comfort zone.
Ballpark Connoisseur
Growing up in Southern California, I was raised an Angels fan, back when they were still the Anaheim Angels! One of my favorite traditions is visiting MLB stadiums with my dad, with the goal of seeing all 30. So far, we've checked 8 off the list, most recently Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati this past summer!
Â
It was a full-circle moment when I returned to Angel Stadium as a Marketing Intern with Juice It Up!, helping execute brand activations at the ballpark where I grew up watching games. Beyond the game itself, baseball will always be special to me because of the memories I've made with my dad and the way it brings people together.
Wildcat Through and Through
Coming to the University of Arizona was one of the first big decisions I made to step outside my comfort zone, and it's become one of the best decisions of my life. Through leadership roles, internships, and campus involvement, I've found a community that has pushed me to grow in ways I never expected. I've learned to take initiative, embrace challenges, and make the most of every opportunity. Above all, I'm forever grateful for the friendships, connections, and memories I've made along the way. Arizona has given me so much more than an education, and I'll always be proud to be a Wildcat. Bear Down!
Girl Family
Growing up as the oldest of three girls, with twin sisters 5 years younger than me, I've always been surrounded by strong women who inspire me. I was my mom's little mini-me while also being a role model for my sisters. Some of my favorite childhood memories are writing plays for my sisters to act in, directing homemade iMovies, and playing school with me as the teacher, of course! Looking back, I think those little moments were my first experiences with creativity, communication, and leadership, long before I knew where my career would take me. My mom has always been my biggest inspiration, teaching me the importance of hard work, kindness, and showing up for others. I'm grateful for the women who have shaped who I am and continue to inspire who I'm becoming.
Servant Leadership
I beleive being a leader means being willing to put others before yourself. As Vice President of Operations for the Arizona Alpha Chapter of Pi Beta Phi, I've learned how important it is to listen, lead by example, and make decisions with others in mind. Leading a chapter of over 400 women has taught me that the best leaders are the ones who genuinely care about the people they're responsible for.
Values I Live By
The principles that guide how I treat others, approach challenges, and show up as a leader.
The Golden Rule
I was raised to treat others the way I would want to be treated, and that's something I've always carried with me. It's a simple lesson, but one that's stuck with me. Whether I'm working with a team, leading an organization, or meeting someone for the first time, I try to approach every interaction with kindness, respect, and an open mind. I never want someone to walk away from an interaction with me feeling unheard or unimportant.
Integrity
Being someone others can trust and depend on is incredibly important to me. Through my leadership roles, I've learned that doing the right thing isn't always the easiest or most popular decision. I believe in being honest, taking accountability, and following through on my commitments. Whether I'm representing an organization or working with a team, I want people to know they can count on me to do what I say I'll do.
Growth & Initiative
Some of my best opportunities have come from stepping outside my comfort zone. From leaving California to attend the University of Arizona to pursuing internships and leadership roles, I've learned the importance of putting myself out there. I never want to stop challenging myself, learning from others, or wondering what could have happened if I'd just gone for it.
