Creativity , Celebration , Connection

Moving to the greater LA area for college in 2016, I quickly began exploring magazine advertising, multi-media story telling and experimental design.

Earning my Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing at the University of California Riverside, I was mentored by a diverse portfolio of poets, filmmakers, editors, and scholars; all contributing to my voice and my perspective. In the summer after my first year I built my own website to host blog posts that focused on reviews, wellness, and the fashion industry.

During my fourth year of collegiate studies I lived and studied in Trastevere, Rome before graduating in Spring 2020.

My mentored exploration into Italian Media studies, guided by the Editor in Chief of the Daily Beast and International Bestselling crime and media author, Barbie Latza Nadeau, proved particularly impactful. Throughout the course, I had the privilege of closely collaborating with Nadeau, drawing from her extensive coverage and insights during the trial of Amanda Knox in 2009.

After graduation, I contributed to Los Angeles based art collective SOYYO magazine as a Staff Writer & Marketing Coordinator. While on the team, I hosted interviews, wrote artist features and brought on new clients while coordinating creation of social media marketing content.

Moving to San Francisco in 2021, I acquired managerial experience, working in retail spaces that ranged from consignment to luxury. Learning to appraise vintage garments, oversee inventory & operations for designer goods, hire and train staff, heightened my appreciation for a people-first mentally.

In 2023, I joined the Account Service team at Gauger + Associates, an award-winning San Francisco based ad agency. Hired initially as a copywriting intern and getting hired as a full-time Account Coordinator, Copywriter, I work with a variety of clients in the residential, consumer-package-goods, and fashion markets. As a full-service design and marketing agency, I work directly with clients to develop strategies and implementation plans to help grow their business while managing the corresponding projects with our in-house Creative Team.
