What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging research, clear communication, and operational support in a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am a thoughtful researcher and communicator with a BA in Philosophy and a minor in Dance from the University of California, Santa Cruz. My coursework in logic, ethics, epistemology, and critical theory sharpened my analytical reasoning and persuasive writing.

I have practical experience producing clear, fact-checked written work and delivering presentations to diverse audiences, having authored multi-page reports and written for a weekly campus press. I simplify complex ideas and align teams through effective communication.

In operational roles I have supported front-desk and office workflows as a night auditor and office assistant, handling scheduling, financial reporting, and event preparation to improve productivity and customer satisfaction.

I also contribute creative and marketing skills: designing newsletters and social posts with Adobe InDesign and Canva, directing and editing dance video projects, and developing choreography and lesson plans for youth programs.
