My Story

One thing to know about me is that I’ve always been drawn to stories — whether through books, people, or the way ideas come across. That curiosity led me to enter a design-your-own degree program at Oregon State University, focusing on writing, literature, and social studies while also exploring business and real-world applications.

I found the connection between storytelling and my career when I began working at KDRV Newswatch 12 as a Marketing Assistant, where I learned the world of TV and digital advertising. There, I supported campaigns, worked closely with account executives, trained new team members, and helped manage client accounts in a fast-paced media environment.

As I learned more about digital marketing, I found that a campaign can be just like telling a story; where a business, product, or design makes it's mark on the world.

Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong ability to organize campaigns, communicate across teams, and support clients effectively.

To me, marketing is storytelling with measurable impact—and I’m motivated by helping businesses grow through the strategies and campaigns I support.
