Born and raised in the vibrant Bay Area, CA, I've always had a passion for unraveling the power of storytelling and witnessing what can happen once we channel our communications and focus across barriers. A fascination with storytelling that stems from my belief in its ability to foster empathy, bridge gaps, and inspire change. I have had the honor to delve into various mediums, including film, literature, and design, to understand the intricate layers of human experiences. DI am throughly excited and thrilled in community and collaborative  settings, and m adept at connecting with individuals from different walks of life, fostering understanding, and amplifying underrepresented and diverse voices. My academic journey led me to delve into Women's Studies and Sociology, providing me with a rich foundation to analyze societal dynamics. With years of experience as a UX Designer, I merge my expertise in human-centered design with the art of storytelling to create impactful experiences.
