Experience
My career began with a foundation of discipline and strategic rigor during my service in the United States Marine Corps. As a Signals Intelligence Geospatial Analyst, I operated in high-stakes environments—both stateside and during overseas missions in Afghanistan—where I honed my technical analysis and crisis management skills. Leading a team as a sergeant, I supervised the administration of millions in travel disbursements for over 700 personnel while mentoring fellow Marines. This experience instilled in me a steadfast commitment to precision, leadership, and clear, effective communication under pressure.
While serving as a Residential Auxiliary at Dakota Counseling (2015–2017), I managed the day-to-day logistics for halfway house residents, demonstrating strong organizational and compassionate leadership skills. At Stanford, my academic and practical pursuits in psychology deepened my commitment to community service and scientific inquiry. I further expanded my research acumen as a Research Assistant with both the Gibson Lab at the Stanford Psychiatry & Behavioral School of Medicine (2021–2022) and the Stanford Social Neuroscience Lab (SSNL) in 2018. In addition, I organized Mental Health First Aid Training with the Stanford Undergraduate Psychology Association (2019). This initiative was very important to me, deepening my understanding of human interaction and wellness.
Through my Strategic Design masters program at Parsons (2024), I am expanded my creative and analytical toolset to tackle complex design challenges. The program has sharpened my ability to merge innovative design with strategic planning—a synergy I further explore in my role as a creative consultant at Good News Magazine LLC (2022–present). This academic journey has allowed me to build on my technical background and transform abstract ideas into compelling visual narratives and effective communication strategies. The experience is fostering an ever-deepening integration of research, design, and storytelling that is essential in today’s fast-evolving communication landscape.
San Francisco is known for its dynamic roles that bridge customer success with creative innovation, and I’ve been blessed to experience these in my past and current professional experience. At XP Health (2022–2023), I enjoyed diving into the start-up world of B2B sales, marketing, and product development. My Customer Success role allowed me to ensure that client needs were met through clear, strategic communication and tailored solutions. Complementing this, my current experience as an Account Executive at Chic Home Interiors has allowed me to integrate aesthetic design with brand strategy, enhancing customer engagement and market presence in a competitive environment. These opportunities have refined my ability to balance creative vision with business objectives, preparing me to excel in any creative project management environment.
