My creative journey has taken quite a few turns. It all started in high school, where I spent countless hours making short films with friends—falling in love with being behind the camera and in the editing room. A few years later, I found myself at Chico State studying Media Arts, diving into classes on filmmaking, editing, and design. But the class that challenged me the most—and ended up leaving the biggest impact—was my intro to web design course.

After graduating, I began working in marketing for a healthcare company, where my interest in web design and SEO truly took root. While working full-time, I also earned my Master’s in Digital Audience Strategy, focusing on how user experience and analytics can elevate marketing strategies. That’s where my passion really clicked.
