My Story
Just call me a West Coastite! (Yes, this is a word I made up!) I was born and raised in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and have lived throughout the length of California. My unique life experiences have developed my personal and professional work ethic. At the intersection of work and play is often where you will find me. Explore my portfolio and feel free to contact me for service or project collaboration.
Street Cred
a.k.a. work experience
I have been working since I was 10 years old! I started off stuffing envelopes and babysitting. I have had over 20 different types of jobs and have loved each of them for various reasons.
I believe I can learn anything I put my mind to and I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves and get my hands dirty. In each position I have held from waiting tables, practicing phlebotomy, conducting research, to practicing dentistry, I have learned that the pillar of success rests on excellent people service and a strong work ethic.
Please see my attached CV for more detailed information.
Academic Cred
a.k.a. educational experience
A good education is the firm foundation for a fruitful and productive life. Learning is one of my favorite activities and I believe that upward mobility is achieved through education. If I had not been afforded the life changing opportunity to go to school, learn, and graduate I would not be where I am today. I greatly value the mere fact that I am able to learn and I do not take it for granted. Want to know more? Get in touch with me today.

I am Who I am
Healer, Artist, Humanitarian
My life mission is to love others through active healing, artistic and humanitarian efforts. I began doing outreach work when I was 13 years old and have never stopped. I make a daily decision to live life with purpose and passion. I have enjoyed serving on multiple humanitarian missions providing dental care and education in Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and Jamaica.
My current volunteer and philanthropic involvement includes providing free dental care to low-income San Diegans with UCSD Student-Run Free Dental Clinic Project, building homes for families in Tijuana, Mexico, weaving mats for homeless to sleep on, singing in my church choir, participation on multiple boards in my local San Diego community and founding The H.E.R.O. Project.
My hope is that my life will reflect the glory of my creator and that I will make a positive impact in the lives of my fellow citizens of the earth.
