I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, but at a very young age I knew that I desired to experience whatever was beyond the California border. I made my way across country, fresh out of high school, and have thrived on the unknown ever since. I am the poster child for "get comfortable being uncomfortable". I began my journey in finance as a teller during my last year of college and continued to grow in knowledge and my desire to serve my community. After graduation I realized how significant it was for me to find purpose in my work. Being a contributor to the growth and success of others is what motivates me to step out of faith, try new things, and push myself beyond what I think I am able. I look forward to the new opportunities that life brings and I am always prepared pivot. This very mindset has allowed me to produce documentaries, serve my community with financial literacy workshops, and blow bubbles on beaches from the East coast to the West coast with my daughter.
