As a new member of the Connect team, I’m excited to dive deeper into San Diego’s thriving innovation ecosystem—a space where cutting-edge technology meets bold ideas to shape the future. My background sits at the intersection of media, data science, and storytelling, and I’m passionate about helping companies harness insights to drive meaningful impact. Whether it’s analyzing trends in biotech, optimizing digital strategy, or bridging the gap between creatives and industry leaders, I love uncovering the narratives hidden within data and using them to build something bigger.
My journey into this world has been anything but linear. From running digital strategy for elected officials to producing content for Fortune 500 companies, I’ve seen firsthand how innovation can transform communities. At San Diego Squared, I helped design programs that connected underrepresented students to STEM careers, and my time as a genomics intern at Illumina gave me a deeper appreciation for how data fuels groundbreaking discoveries. Now, at Connect, I’m eager to continue this work—helping founders, startups, and visionaries tell their stories and scale their impact.
Beyond my love for data and digital strategy, I’m a San Diegan through and through. You’ll find me hunting for the best California burrito, catching a sunset surf session, or hiking one of San Diego’s many scenic trails. I believe the best ideas often come from stepping away from the screen—whether it’s on a long drive up the coast or over a plate of tacos with good company.
I’m thrilled to be part of a team that’s dedicated to fostering innovation and supporting the next wave of entrepreneurs. San Diego is a place where bold thinkers thrive, and I’m excited to help shape its future.
