I am a native to California, having lived in a variety of cities throughout the state. I also lived in Mexico when I was a little girl and in Buenos Aires, Argentina during college. I attended Pepperdine University and received my degree in Organizational Communication and Spanish.

Throughout my life, I have had a passion for volunteerism. I ran a non-profit program for adults with disabilities for two years. I have also coordinated programs to teach English to Spanish-speaking adults, have worked with young children, the elderly and the homeless. I have also volunteered with larger organizations such as American Cancer Society and Special Olympics. Throughout these experiences, my greatest joys have been in witnessing how seemingly simple concepts such as respect, kindness and friendship can make the greatest impact in one's life.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, music, sports, travel, good food and good chocolate, getting to meet new people and spending time with loved ones. I love to explore and try new things and am excited to share my passions of volunteerism, travel and working with people!!
