I grew up in San Diego, California, and after spending most of my life on the West Coast, I decided to experience something new by attending college in Boston, where I studied Mass Communications.

After graduating, I pursued my passion for the music industry and moved to Manhattan Beach, CA, where I began my career at Atlantic Records in Radio Promotions. In this role, I worked closely with music directors to promote artists and secure radio play, which sparked my interest in marketing.

While I valued my time in the music industry, a visit back home to San Diego led to a pivotal moment. After reconnecting with a friend working at Roxy, I discovered a strong interest in the action sports industry and felt immediately drawn to it.

I went on to join Quiksilver, where I spent several years in sales before transitioning into a retail role at Billabong. This experience allowed me to combine my background in both sales and marketing, shaping the career path I continue to build today.

I later moved to Orange County, where I currently work in a brand and retail experience role, planning events and helping bring go-to-market strategies to life.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active at the beach or in the gym, and continually seeking new ways to grow both personally and professionally.
