A Little Bit About Who I Am

          Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been captivated by the world's marvels—the colors, the cultures, the stories behind every city, and the creativity that makes each place unique. I didn’t always know what I wanted to do with that curiosity, especially growing up in a family of doctors. For a long time, I believed I’d follow that same path, and I devoted myself fully—studying pre-med, working in a dental office, as an EMT, and doing everything I thought I was supposed to do. But somewhere along the way, I felt a growing disconnect. I could keep doing something I was good at—but it wasn’t something I was truly passionate about. So I made one of my life's hardest but best decisions: I took a semester off, stepped away from the plan I had built for years, and asked myself what I wanted. That time gave me clarity. I realized I didn’t want to heal bodies—I wanted to connect with people’s minds and emotions. I tried to combine the analytical discipline I had developed with the creativity I had always tucked away. That’s when I found marketing. Marketing, to me, is where strategy meets story. It’s where data and creativity collide to create

something meaningful. Since making the switch, I’ve studied at Oxford, led peers as an Alpha Leader, worked on brand strategy for a travel agency in New York City, and created content that tells stories about how people feel. I’ve gone from lab coats to lens filters and wouldn’t have it any other way. This portfolio reflects that journey—of the skills I’ve gained, my strengths, interests, the stories I’ve told, and the passion that drives me. I’m not just a marketer. I’m a storyteller, a strategist, and a global thinker—ready to make a meaningful impact through meaningful messages.

With Empathy, I'm able to sense other people’s feelings by imagining myself in their lives, situations, and in their shoes. This often helps me dissolve conflict quickly, and helps me better target my audience by understanding where they are coming from and what they are wanting.

Relator

I enjoy close relationships with others, and thrive in close knit teams within my work environment. I find deep satisfaction in working hard with my friends and coworkers to achieve our deliverables and overall goals!

Developer

I both recognize and cultivate the potential in others. This has let me become a better leader and help the people I'm leading grow to their full potential. I can easily spot the signs of each small improvement and derive satisfaction from the evidence of progress.

Positivity

I have contagious enthusiasm, especially within my work environment and am always excited for the next project that I can take on. My friends and coworkers often describe me as upbeat and say I can get others excited about what they are going to do!
