I’ve always been drawn to the part of a project where an idea has to become something real.

Over the past five years, that’s taken me in a lot of directions—from building immersive experiences and developing marketing campaigns to analyzing consumer research, coordinating teams, and solving the unexpected problems that come with bringing ideas to life.

What I’ve learned is that I really enjoy the messy middle: the space between strategy and execution where there are people to coordinate, problems to solve, creative decisions to make, and a hundred moving pieces that somehow need to become one cohesive experience.

I’m originally from Hawaiʻi and now based in San Diego. I earned my Master of Communication Management from USC Annenberg and my B.A. in Communication from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Outside of work, I’m usually planning my next trip, finding somewhere new to explore, or getting way too invested in a creative project I absolutely did not need to start.
