Santa Barbara,CA
Summary
I'm a third-year Writing and Literature major at UCSB. I’m passionate about film and media, fashion and culture, and brightening the community around me—whether that may be my university, workplace, home life, or any of the organizations of which I am a member. I pour my all into each role I fill, always approaching each environment with kindness, honesty, and hard work. Through my work experience, studies, and time volunteering, I’ve gained practical experience through hands-on roles, demonstrated capabilities in problem-solving, teamwork, adaptability, leadership, and I am a diligent, committed worker, and a quick learner.
