I’m an entrepreneur, UI/UX & product designer, filmmaker, and student at the University of Southern California studying Economics with a minor in Computer Programming. I aspire to merge my love for the intersection between the creative, entrepreneurship, & business in the entertainment and technology industries.

Previously, I’ve worked as a Digital Marketing Strategist at an AI-rendering software startup Playbook 3D, where I helped develop branding and strategy for AI-powered visual tools. I’ve also worked in CPG as the Marketing/Growth Lead for a protein-snack startup founded by USC students called Boldsnax (BUFFS).

During Summer 2025, I was @ NBCUniversal under Universal Pictures as a Digital & Design Intern, further deepening my experience in entertainment marketing.

This Fall 2025, I’m the Head of Accelerator @ TroyLabs, USC’s premier startup accelerator, where we’ve overseen 70+ startups and $5M+ in fundraising.

My entire life I’ve been involved in the arts: playing piano since the age of 5, coming to USC as a Theatre major, and playing gigs with my pop-rock band “Peach Fuzz” in high school. I’ve always been a creative person who seeks to tell stories. I’ve found that my multi-racial background in Mexican-Vietnamese American heritage inspires me to advocate and highlight these underrepresented voices in the media and tech industries.

In my free time, I love oversharing on Beli (basically Instagram for restaurants and cafes), perfecting my homemade matcha latte recipe (2 tsp matcha : 80 ml water : 120 ml oat milk—my golden ratio), and learning new bossa nova, jazz, and R&B songs on guitar.
