I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Arizona State University Honors College with a BS in Health Sciences and a concentration in Integrative Care. As part of my education, I spent a year studying Italian language at Scuola Leonardo Da Vinci in Rome. I traveled around Italy to research Italian food systems while writing my Honors Thesis on the topic. I hope to one day start my own Italian food importing business, stemming from my research and travel that fostered a love and knowledge of ancient Italian food systems and their impact on health, culture, society, and the environment, with the goal of curating products that connect the producer to the consumer. I am a driven, creative, and collaborative person who strives to learn new things and contribute to the growth and success of those around me.
