Events
A good event should feel calm, intentional and personal, and outlast the night it happened on.
Launch parties, a Comm Week talk, a national conference and service days with local nonprofits: planned, hosted, decorated and documented. The instinct started in hospitality, as Guest Experience Coordinator at Olive Garden.

Service days and drives with Rotaract CSUF, promoted and documented.
As Communications Director of Rotaract CSUF, I’ve promoted and documented the club’s service work in its first year: a finals week drive collecting gifts and food for families in the Fullerton School District, a Pack-a-Box shift preparing food boxes for seniors at OC Food Bank, a hands-on day clearing invasive weeds at the Fullerton Arboretum with PACT and the Gilbert Community Center remodel with OC United and the Rotary Club of Fullerton.
Over spring break we volunteered at Radiant Futures’ Spring Fest, a domestic violence shelter’s community day, where I hosted the egg hunt.
