HELLO!

Since graduating magna cum laude from UCLA in 2023, I’ve worked across several facets of the media industry, with a focus on journalism and fashion marketing. Currently, I’m a Photo Associate Producer at TooFab, where I create the visuals for our articles and YouTube videos, while also contributing original reporting.

Some of my top projects include:

  • Interviewing Dancing with the Stars contestants

  • Speaking with Percy Jackson author Rick Riordan about his latest work

  • Creating dynamic photo galleries that showcase sightings and exciting moments from industry events (fashion weeks, movie premieres, etc) as well as trends in Hollywood (the use of weight loss drugs, plastic surgery confessions, etc)

While writing is a core skill of mine, I also have a strong love for marketing. At TooFab, I contribute to social media strategy proposals. Prior to this role, I worked as a freelance marketing coordinator for Depop, a leading fashion resale platform. There, I led their university marketing program, and expanded the project from the first school  (UCLA) to 100 campuses nationwide in just one year. I recruited ambassadors, planned events, onboarded vendors, and collaborated with the U.S. Marketing Lead to craft Gen Z-focused copy that resonated with our target audience.

I’m equally passionate about both journalism and marketing. At the heart of everything I do is a deep love for fashion, entertainment, and storytelling. I’m always eager to grow my skills and leave a lasting impact no matter the position I’m in.
