Education

Past.
I graduated from Citrus Community College in 2023 with an Associate of Arts in Visual Arts and an Associate Degree for Transfer in Communication Studies. It was during my time there that I discovered my passion for public speaking and communication, inspiring me to continue my education and pursue a bachelor's degree in Communication.

-
Present.
I graduated cum laude from California State University, Los Angeles with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, with an emphasis in Advertising and Public Relations. My final capstone project brought together everything I had learned throughout my degree. Working alongside a team, I helped develop a comprehensive social media campaign for a community-focused microbrewery in Massachusetts, conducting research, contributing to media strategy, and creating campaign recommendations tailored to the client's goals. You can explore the project in the Portfolio section.

Future.
My experience at Cal State LA was incredibly rewarding and solidified my passion for communication. Inspired by the guidance and encouragement of my professors, I decided to continue my academic journey by pursuing a master's degree in Communication Studies. I am excited to begin classes this fall and continue growing as a communicator, researcher, and lifelong learner.
