"The object isn't to make art, it's to be in that wonderful state which makes art inevitable" -Robert Henri

Hello!
I graduated from Drexel University with a Bachelors of Science in Fashion Design (2026). I first explored the world of event planning and hospitality as an event production assistant in 2025. During this six month internship, I learned how to work in a small team of creatives alongside my independent work in fashion. I am driven by curiosity, creativity, and a love for making ideas experiential. I'm most fulfilled when collaborating with others to create work that tells a story. I want to create something that brings people together in an inclusive, organized, and distinctly human way. I'm currently looking for a creative space where I can contribute to meaningful projects and learn from passionate people.
Personal
I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia (go birds!), then I moved into the city while studying at Drexel. I am currently located in Brooklyn, New York. Outside of work, I enjoy making art through many mediums and am always excited to learn new things. My favorite mediums are graphite, watercolor, and digital drawing. I’ve always loved journaling, so far I’ve finished four journals cover to cover. In my free time, I enjoy upcycling and tailoring clothes. I studied abroad in both London and Italy for six months. While I loved being abroad, it solidified that, for me, it's New York or nowhere. Además, estoy intentando aprender español :) Like everyone else, I’m always watching movies and tv. Please feel free to recommend something new! I’ve seen almost every documentary, horror movie, and episode of Girls, Broad City, Gilmore Girls, Love Island, and Parks and Rec. I spend way too much money on coffee and peanut butter cups.

Event Communications assistant at locals
Assisted with the planning, live event execution, and breakdown of the MLB experience at Fanatics Fest NYC, supporting event operations from start to finish. Before the event, I helped prepare activations, organize materials, and ensure the space was ready for fans. During the event, I worked alongside the production team to keep operations running smoothly, assist attendees, troubleshoot challenges, and support talent and staff as needed. After the event, I helped dismantle activations, organize equipment, and restore the venue efficiently.
