about me

I’m originally from South Central LA and recently moved to Bakersfield, California. I attended the University of Southern California and graduated in 2024 with a degree in Business Administration. As a first-generation college student from a low-income family, college wasn’t always easy. I had responsibilities at home, worked night shifts, and still tried to stay involved on campus. Throughout it all, I reminded myself that everything is figureoutable and leaned on my creativity and resourcefulness to keep moving forward. Some of my favorite memories came from meeting new people and building community through my classes, social clubs, and campus events. I even tried Taekwondo, which helped me make new friends.
