About Me

I am a Bachelor of Innovation in Digital Media student at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs with experience in guest service, operations, leadership, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. My academic background and professional experiences have helped me build strong skills in communication, problem solving, innovation, and teamwork.

During my six-month internship with The Walt Disney Company, I learned how empathy, operational precision, and adaptability shape positive guest experiences in fast-paced environments. Across leadership roles, community service, and team-based projects, I have continued to strengthen my ability to work with others, manage responsibilities, and contribute to meaningful outcomes.

I am passionate about creating positive experiences, solving practical challenges, and applying innovative thinking in ways that help organizations and communities grow.
