More About Me!


  • I did marketing for a UC Santa Cruz video game community and increased event sign-ups and attendance by over 100%

  • I love to write. Some of my favorite topics I've written about have been non-verbal communication in virtual reality, and online communities acting as supportive pseudo-cultures for LGBTQ individuals

  • I volunteered to create the initial Love Smiles website, which spreads awareness about pediatric cancer and sends gift packages to children in hospitals.
