About

A business foundation,
a brand point of view.

I’m a Finance student at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business, with minors in Entrepreneurship and Retail Studies. My experience spans customer service, content creation, and brand-facing work—from retail floors and studio spaces to short-form social video. As co-founder of Curlosophy, I led marketing, content, product photography, web design, and order fulfillment. I’m especially interested in the intersection of luxury retail, brand, and customer experience.
