I am a native San Diegan who is prideful of where my roots lay. I have this desire to give back to the local communities that raised me and share why I love this place so much with others who visit. I am currently an undergraduate student at San Diego State University, studying for my bachelor's degree in hospitality and tourism management with an emphasis in meetings and events.

 

What initially drew me to this industry was the dynamic and ever-changing environment it provides. Every day is different, and there are always new opportunities to connect with guests, prepare for exciting occasions, and adapt to consumer demands. My goal is to plan and execute events that will create lasting memories for those and everyone around me. 

 

For someone like me who loves variety and thrives on movement, this is the perfect pathway. This industry fulfills my personal mission, having the power to promote cultural understanding and connect people in ways that few other industries can.
