Academic Foundation
My own education has been the foundation of everything I've built
San Diego State University
B.A. in Public Administration, Minor in Marketing
Where my passion for leadership and communication began. SDSU gave me both the analytical skills of public administration and the creativity of marketing, two tools I've carried throughout my career.
George Mason University
MBA, Business Analytics
Here, I learned how to translate data into strategy—skills that have helped me lead large-scale marketing campaigns, measure impact, and make confident decisions in complex environments.
Yale School of Management
Leadership Certificate
This program sharpened my leadership philosophy, blending strategy with people-first principles. It reinforced my belief that strong leadership comes from clarity, accountability, and empathy.
Giving Back: Mentorship and Service
I believe education is most powerful when it's shared
Mentor, SDSU Alumni Association
I work directly with students, offering guidance on job awareness, career preparation, interview skills, and professional growth. My goal is to help them feel confident navigating a business world that can often seem overwhelming.
Trustee, MiraCosta College Board of Trustees
Serving on the Board gave me a chance to directly shape policy and initiatives that improved access and outcomes for community college students. It was a powerful reminder of how institutions can change lives when they stay focused on learners.
