About

Hi! I’m currently a junior at Bentley University, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Management with a concentration in Leadership. As a first-generation college student, I’ve cultivated a unique blend of resilience, creativity, and a passion for fostering connections in diverse environments. My professional experiences span across global innovation, retail, fashion, and media industries. As a Global Innovation Intern for Emzingo|U in Peru, I collaborated with my team to improve operational strategies for a catering company, presenting innovative solutions to enhance their social media performance. My future goals include working in creative industries, such as fashion or beauty, and pursuing opportunities in project management or event planning on a global scale. I’m particularly interested in connecting with professionals in these fields and individuals who share my aspirations for fostering inclusive and innovative workplaces. Let’s connect!
