Hello! I'm a California transplant that moved to New York City in 2008. My rescue pug Emoji is my co-pilot in life, and he way more popular than I will ever be. I enjoy searching for the best vegan doughnuts jumping in puddles, exploring new ways to re-fall in love with NYC, as well as traveling to new places when I can.

I earned a B.S. in Psychology and Sociology from Fordham University with an interest in consumer behavior. I have an interest people culture and a passion for organizing event and marketing activations that connect a company to it's consumer by bringing brand traits to life.

During my collegiate career, I successfully conceptualized and managed events and marketing activations directed towards the Fordham undergraduate community, as well as managed product logistics and infrastructure. During my time as a VIP Host for Strategic Hospitality Group, I assisted the Event Marketing Manager with Social Media Content while developing a client service mentality. During my time behind jobs, I dedicated 30 hours a week to volunteer with NYCares and two rescue groups, Curly Tail Pug Rescue and S.N.O.R.T. Rescue. I assist with emergency, medical transports and offer a temporary, post-op foster home for needy pugs. In January, I adopted one of Curly Tail Pug Rescue's medical fosters, Emoji (@apugnamedmoji), and focused on rehabilitating him. In July, I started part-time work as the Office Assistant at Direct Agents, and I became the Social Media Coordinator for Curly Tail Pug Rescue.
