Summary

I am an undergraduate at San Diego State University working towards a Bachelor of Arts degree, with a concentration in International Business and Spanish language.

I am passionate about connecting with people. I pride myself on being a strong communicator and love nothing more than making connections and pathways with new people. Starting at a young age, I developed a strong entrepreneurial spirit, which first came to fruition when I started a bike repair business in high school out of my family garage after recognizing a critical need in my community for bike services.

I aspire to keep this entrepreneurial spirit alive and discover more opportunities to develop my people and professional skills.
