Born and raised in the San Francisco bay area, I have been a music connoisseur, sports enthusiast, and adventure seeker since a very young age. I attended San Diego State University where I received my B.A. in Communication with a minor in Business Administration. Soon after I fled the state of California to pursue my graduate degree in Chicago, IL. There I received my M.S. in Integrated Marketing Communications from Roosevelt University. In March 2013, I completed my Photography Certificate at the Chicago Photography Academy in Chicago, IL.

Marketing, events, photography and community service are all aligned with my long term career goals and aspirations.
