Summary
Hello! I am a sophomore at Santa Clara University, majoring in Communication with a minor in Business/Entrepreneurship. Originally from Seattle, I’ve always been drawn to finding creative ways to solve problems and make ideas happen.
My first job was at Broadmoor Golf Club, where I learned the value of hard work, communication skills, and delivering great experiences. Since then, I’ve jumped into the world of entrepreneurship, trying out different ventures and finding my groove in creating something meaningful. Most recently, I co-founded Feel Good Brews, a beverage company focused on creating a cutting-edge product in the growing functional energy drink space. We are currently developing a drink that blends clean energy, natural flavors, and proven wellness benefits. It’s been an exciting process—refining our formula, identifying market opportunities, and planning the next big steps to bring our vision to life.
