With a diverse educational background and extensive experience in communication and technology, I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Integrated Design, Business, and Technology at the University of Southern California.

My experience as a Recruiting Coordinator at Instacart and Data Annotation Specialist at Tesla has equipped me with a strong foundation in recruitment processes and data management.
