From the time I was little through college, I would lose myself in fantasy worlds of my own creation.
I pursued my passion for storytelling as an undergrad at UCLA School of Film, Television and Digital Media. In addition to my coursework, I traveled with UCLA Women's Soccer (2013 National Champions) for 7 months to produce videos with them, worked with UCLA Women's Basketball to create commercials that aired at the Rose Bowl, and collaborated with UCLA Healthy Campus to make informative videos that interview Bruins to take the pulse of campus.
After graduating, I helped ensure effective communication across a highly matrixed technology organization within The Walt Disney Company. Then, I moved to the Disney Consumer Products and Innovation division, where I helped create videos for social media like “Mickey and Minnie Milkshakes” and “Rafiki Mask DIY.”
Later, I joined FOX Sports, where I was able to celebrate real-world heroes like Crystal Dunn and Megan Rapinoe. Now, I am most interested in the stories we tell about who we are as a society and the stories that we ignore. I would like to be part of writing a better future for America by acknowledging our past, surveying the current landscape of successes and challenges, and implementing lasting change to shift the trajectory of this nation so that it can finally live up to the promises upon which it was built.
