About Me *
I’m a student at UW–Madison passionate about understanding how people think, make decisions, and connect with brands in the marketplace. I’m especially interested in uncovering consumer insights, analyzing cultural and behavioral trends, and exploring how brands can meet evolving needs in ways that feel authentic and meaningful.
My experience ranges from hands-on marketing work with local businesses to a multidisciplinary internship at D50 Media, where I gained exposure to paid media, social strategy, creative development, and performance analytics. That experience showed me how much I enjoy blending data, storytelling, and design to create campaigns that truly resonate with audiences.
I’m also deeply interested in exploring emerging AI tools and creative technologies that are transforming how ideas are developed, tested, and brought to life in marketing. I enjoy experimenting with new platforms and using them to push creative thinking and storytelling in new directions.
I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments and love work that sits at the intersection of creativity and strategy. I’m always looking for opportunities to bring curiosity, empathy, and a strategic mindset into the ideas and campaigns I help build.
Beyond My Passion for Marketing…
Nationally Ranked Snowboarder
As a nationally ranked competitive snowboarder, I began traveling internationally by age 12, competing in halfpipe, racing, and freestyle events. Training and competing at an elite level from such a young age instilled independence, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure. Balancing school, travel, and competition strengthened my resilience, adaptability, and time-management skills, which continue to shape how I approach fast-paced environments, teamwork, and leadership.
Captain of Soccer and Tennis Team
As captain of both my high school’s varsity soccer and tennis teams during my junior and senior years, I led by example, holding myself and my teammates to high standards while fostering a supportive and competitive team culture. Serving as a multi-sport captain strengthened my leadership, communication, and ability to unite individuals with different strengths and personalities around a shared goal.
