I am a senior pursuing a BA in International Relations at Stanford University. Before attending Stanford, I graduated and transferred from MiraCosta Community College with an AA in Law, Public Policy, and Society and received the college's highest academic honor, the Medal of Academic Merit.

A significant portion of my time in community college was devoted to working in higher education, which ranged from statewide legislative advocacy, to student support as a writing center consultant, and outreach on behalf of MiraCosta's Hispanic Serving Institution grant. I was also heavily involved in local political campaign management, grassroots organizing, and civic engagement during the 2022 midterm election.

My studies now focus on American foreign policy in the Global South at the intersection of human development, international security, and great-power competition. I've produced and presented policy research for human rights and inclusion in Southeast Asia through Globally's US-ASEAN Futures Symposium as well as in the U.S. international development aid sector to Congressional staff through Stanford University's academic curriculum. I've also presented independent research on regional integration of monetary policy within ASEAN through the Bay Honors Consortium and the Honors Transfer Council of California. 

In the spring 2026, I studied and interned abroad in Santiago, Chile with global non-profit Good Neighbors in Chile and developed my understanding of economic models and community development strategies to address inequality. The following summer, I traveled to Cape Town, South Africa and promoted human rights as a Titling Futures and Cardinal Quarter Fellow through a daily show I hosted at community radio station, Bush 89.5 FM.

Currently, I am working to utilize my background in policy analysis and traditional advocacy to pursue multimedia production, investigative journalism, and documentary storytelling as primary tools for democratic resilience.
