I am a senior transfer student pursuing a BA in International Relations at Stanford University. Before attending Stanford, I graduated 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.

My studies 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 in the Human Rights and Inclusion sector in Southeast Asia through Globally's US-ASEAN Futures Symposium as well as in the U.S. International Development Aid space through Stanford University's programming. 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.

A significant portion of my undergrad in community college was dedicated 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.

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.
