My fascination with stories began as a student journalist seeking to illuminate overlooked narratives and evolved into a broader fascination with the people, systems, and stories that shape our lives. As a UC Berkeley alum, I developed a deeper understanding of how narratives influence perception and action—knowledge that later found expression through research, communications, community engagement, and nonprofit work.

Professionally, my work spans research, communications, nonprofit consulting, operations, and writing—fields that may seem unrelated at first glance, but have all been driven by the same curiosity about how people and systems interact.I love spotting patterns in complex data, building systems that solve problems, and telling the story behind the numbers. My experience spans coordinating multi-site studies, managing large-scale public events, and building operational frameworks from the ground up—work that consistently delivers measurable impact through resourcefulness that extends beyond traditional role boundaries.

What drives me is the puzzle of how systems work, how they break, and how they can be improved. Whether building operational infrastructure, analyzing research data, developing community programs, or solving unexpected challenges, I’m happiest when I’m learning, building, and figuring things out alongside others. I’ve found that some of the most meaningful work happens where curiosity, research, and practical problem-solving intersect.

I’m particularly passionate about the intersection of research, communication, and social change. My work spans from investigating political landscapes through social psychology research to coordinating with government officials across multiple jurisdictions for large-scale public initiatives. This experience has reinforced my belief that meaningful change requires both rigorous analysis and a deep understanding of the people and communities affected by the decisions we make.

At my core, I’m drawn to environments where traditional playbooks don’t exist—where curiosity, analytical thinking, and a willingness to ask better questions can uncover new possibilities. My aim is to help build the programs, systems, and stories that make meaningful change possible, translating insight into action while keeping people at the center of the work.
