ABOUT ME
I GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WITH A DEGREE IN NEUROSCIENCE AND PRODUCT DESIGN
ORIGINALLY ON THE PRE-MED TRACK, I DISCOVERED MY PASSION FOR INDUSTRIAL DESIGN THROUGH COURSES AT JIMMY IOVINE AND DR. DRE'S SCHOOL OF ARTS, TECHNOLOGY, AND INNOVATION.
IN MY FREE TIME, EDIT YOUTUBE VIDEOS, COMPETE IN LONG DISTANCE RUNNING EVENTS, COACH THE USC CLUB TRACK & XC TEAM, AND EXPLORE THE VARIETY OF FOOD/ CUISINES OF LA-- MY DREAM IS TO OPEN A MAKERSPACE/ COFFEE SHOP THAT TRANSFORMS INTO A WINE BAR AT NIGHT!
