Welcome to my Portfolio

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Southern California dual majoring in Psychology and Public Relations/Advertising. USC Annenberg is often placing #1 for Communication & Media Studies in rankings like QS World University Rankings, and top-five for U.S. journalism programs by outlets like NewsPro. Programs like its Public Relations offering have received awards, such as the PRWeek Outstanding Education Program award. 

I bring strong, transferable public relations skills suited for PR agencies, public health programs, and journalism roles. My diverse background in PR has strengthened my ability to pitch ideas, craft unique stories, and communicate professionally across platforms. 

​

I have experience working in collaborative research and communications environments, including participation in the E-Board of PRSSA and PRSC, planning events, funding, outreach, flyers, social media, and working closely with clients. In addition to this, I enjoy translating complex topics in psychology, neuroscience, statistics, and public health into messaging that feels personal, understandable, and grounded in evidence. I have performed well in statistics classes and worked on data analysis, including biomedical and health data. I am especially interested in supporting research through participant recruitment, study promotion, research assistance, and communication strategies for labs and public health programs and funding. I am currently an Intern at ENIGMA Worldwide Medicine helping with the public relations efforts, events, and outreach. I am also involved with USC Keck School of Medicine science-funding efforts, resulting in a $5 million donation to Neurodegenerative Disease Research. I have worked at PR Agencies, been a Clinical Psychology Intern, and interned for Palm Springs Life Magazine.

​

My goal is to combine psychology, neuroscience, and public health research with clear, accessible, and ethical communication that helps research reach the right audiences. I plan to apply for a Master of Public Health (MPH) and am deeply passionate about advancing clinical psychology and neuroscience research, funding, and public understanding. I am eager to contribute to research teams that value scientific rigorous communication. Please click on my ‘portfolio’ to see some of my projects that I work on!
