Summary

I am a highly driven and creative UC Berkeley student with hands-on and trackable experience in building partnerships, organizing events, and working directly with companies to create engaging and professional opportunities and events. As Growth and Social Events Lead at Yelo, I lead outreach initiatives, communicate with brands for sponsorships, and design events that drive engagement and growth. I thrive in fast-paced, people-facing roles that connect individuals and students with opportunities. Through my leadership roles and working exclusively or female-founded businesses, I have developed strong skills in relationship building, professional communication and event planning/execution.
