My life has always been shaped by four forces

Exploration Entrepreneurship Education Expression


With the 4 E’s as my foundation I’m learning to operate at the intersection of strategic storytelling and systemized execution.
To build systems that optimize ROI and experiences that keep people invested in the brands I represent.

And to design stories that keep people inspired to be a part of the mission the brands I represent

This is my world.
These are the roots behind it.




















Exploration : The Globe, My Favorite Classroom

From a young age, my dad made a promise to himself: his kids would be raised with global exposure and perspective.


I’m the living fruit of that promise.

My first big trip was Ecuador. Since then, I’ve taken multiple study abroad trips and traveled on my own for personal exploration beyond the States. In 2024, during my sophomore year, my parents made a long-dreamed move to Mexico, which naturally pushed me into a more global rhythm.

Every internship I’ve taken has been remote, and it taught me how to structure my day, stay accountable to my deadlines, and maintain steady, high-quality output without being in an on site office.

Travel hasn’t just shown me new places, it continually shapes the way I think.
It taught me that:

-  The ability to see multiple perspectives is a competitive advantage.
- Curiosity is a form of intelligence.
- Growth accelerates when new places and experiences push us beyond our comfort.

Entrepreneurship: I grew up building things.

My parents moved from Philadelphia to Texas to build a business.
They raised me to believe creativity and ownership were normal.


In elementary school, I went to an entrepreneurial camp and ran my first lemonade stand.

In middle school, I had a glimpse of the influencer business through my  thrifting influencer phase and modeled for local Houston Magazines.

In high school, I launched a clothing brand, interned for a digital marketing company, and started a podcast interviewing artists and entrepreneurs during quarantine in 2020.

In college, I helped build RadPeople: a creative agency where we produced events for big name artists and brands during New York Fashion Week, helped grow the team, and have networked with icons in the fashion/art/design industry.

I also built a team under my own start up consulting company and was a TedX vendor, won multiple grants, and participated in pitch competitions.

Every chapter has taught me one thing:
I’m at my best when I’m building something that inspires me and has a positive impact on others.

















Education: The Foundation That Opens Every Door

Education is a major reason I think the way I do.
My grandmother was a blind single mother who still sent my dad to private school because she believed education opens doors.


My parents continued that belief when they invested in my private and classical education from K–12, so I could have the foundation to think well and move confidently through the world.

Providence Classical School taught me logic, rhetoric, and the art of critical thinking.

UT Austin built on that foundation through the Canfield Business Honors Program and the Forty Acres Scholarship Program , where my donor introduced me to a professor who pulled me directly into the startup world. That introduction changed everything.

I joined an incubator program (LaunchPad UT) and began developing a sustainable cooler startup (Brrr Box), where I conducted market research, created go-to-market strategies, pitched to investors, and won multiple grants. That experience trained me to think like a builder: to validate ideas, test assumptions, and shape a story that resonates with real audiences.

Through the incubator, I attended an event where I met visionary founder and creative director Nelson Tembiwa, which became the spark that led me to help build RadPeople, a creative agency focuses on the intersection of fashion, art, design, and culture. One opportunity opened the door to the next.

The Forty Acres Scholars Program also fully funded my study abroad experiences, allowing me to study in both Athens, Greece and Barcelona, Spain. Living and learning in new cultural contexts pushed me beyond familiarity and routine. I became more observant, more adaptable, and more comfortable learning without a clear playbook — an experience that reshaped how I approach growth.

When I returned, I began applying that same mindset to my interest in AI and education. In one of my honors courses, our final project invited us to examine any emerging policy issue and design forward-looking solutions. I focused on the future of AI use in higher education, where I developed a process-accountability model that prioritizes how students learn, not just what they submit. That work reflects where I believe education is headed as AI becomes more integrated into learning environments.

Alongside that academic exploration, I began using AI more practically in marketing and sales, starting with my first internship at AppMeetup in 2023. At Magnet Media, I applied AI to streamline routine tasks, which created space for higher-level contribution — from developing training videos for future interns to helping organize internal workflows. The experience reinforced a core belief for me: when used intentionally, AI doesn’t replace thinking or skill; it amplifies both.

That belief now anchors my long-term vision. I want to build programs, systems, and tools that help people stay curious, creative, and capable in an AI-integrated world. In many ways, it’s come full circle — my parents invested deeply in my education, and now we’re learning AI together, sharing tools, ideas, and perspectives. It’s a reminder to remain adaptable, keep stewarding my skills, and stay open to how learning evolves as the world changes.

























Expression: I shape my future by how I show up.

Expression is the part of me that turns ideas into emotion.

It’s how I communicate who I am through movement, art, discipline, and the way I carry myself through the world.
 

Physical expression taught me grit.

I was a 400M TAPPS 3A state champion, played competitive travel football and baseball in positions that didn’t match my size, and learned to turn that into an advantage. I ran a solo half marathon in Barcelona, and now I challenge myself through calisthenics. Sports train me to push past limits, stay consistent, and trust the process.

Creative expression taught me perspective.
I’ve written poetry (and won school awards for it), danced in talent shows since a little kid (and still  love to dance when i get the chance), written songs, practice visual graphic design + video editing, and pursued photography as one of my biggest passions. Additionally I’ve always believed music and film shape how we see reality — and that our own creative expression shapes our world right back.

Expression is why I fell in love with storytelling.
Expression is why I fell in love with experience design.
Expression is why I fell in love with communication.
Everything I create: whether it’s a brand story, a marketing campaign, a photograph, or a presentation — comes from that same instinct: to help people see a reality that could be theirs — and build the bridge toward it.

It’s also why product marketing aligns with my anatomy:
Exploration → user empathy
Entrepreneurship → building and iterating
Education → clarity and structured thinking
Expression → storytelling and resonance
Product marketing is where all four E’s collide.
It’s where I get to build worlds — and invite people into them.













 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Where I’m Going Next

My mission is simple: To help build a world where creativity, intelligence, and humanity be all the more emphasized, not undermined in the age of integrated AI.

I strive to live that mission in my career and the projects that I put my heart into.
