Where to start? I guess we can start back in 1991, just a few days before Halloween, when I was born to two amazing humans in the city of Glendale, California. The years that followed my birth involved a few moves, and at age four we settled in a nice house in the city of Buena Park, California. 

​

Let's fast forward - past my elementary and secondary school years (nothing too exciting happened here, except for the time I got to walk to school with the Mayor of Buena Park). In the fall of 2009 I enrolled as an Apparel Production student at California State Polytechnic University of Pomona. A few years into my studies I decided that I needed to shake things up a bit, so I relocated to Portland, Oregon. This experience altered my life in many ways - and when I moved back to California a year later, I had a fresh and matured outlook on life.

​

I returned to Cal Poly Pomona and shortly after felt that urge to shake my life up again. So in the summer of 2013 I embarked on a month-long journey to JinHua, China, where I volunteered as an English teacher. This was my second life-altering experience - and it sparked my interest in traveling and learning about different cultures.

​

In 2014 I received my B.S. in Apparel Production from Cal Poly Pomona. Since graduating I have been employed at Tukatech, Inc., a Los Angeles-based company which provides software and hardware solutions to the apparel industry. My work at Tukatech has consisted of software training, business development, brand strategy, website development, event coordination, and sales. 

​

I'm currently looking to contribute my knowledge, skills, and passion towards a business (preferably in the outdoor/lifestyle industry), social responsibility is a plus!
