More Than
a Résumé.

Where it started

I grew up in Orange County, California, in a Mexican and Afghan family. Our home was full of two cultures at once: different foods on the same table, different music in the same car, and a shared belief that family comes first. It taught me early that there is always more than one way to see the world.

I was also born with albinism and low vision. As a kid, that made me stand out in ways I did not always want. I was bullied, and there were years when I just wanted to blend in. Over time I learned to own my difference instead. Fashion helped me do that. It became a way to express who I am and, without realizing it, my first lesson in how presentation shapes perception.

Miami

At seventeen I moved across the country to Miami. It was a big step, and it changed me. I studied at the University of Miami and earned my B.S. in Communication with a focus on advertising and marketing in December 2025. Miami is bold, international and creative, and it pushed me to be more confident, more social and more curious about why some brands connect while others disappear.

During those years I also started working. I supported marketing at Noel Box, worked on social media and analytics at Accretive Capital, and founded my own direct to consumer sunglasses brand, Stay You Lenses. As someone whose eyes are sensitive to light, building a sunglasses brand felt personal. It taught me what it really takes to build something from nothing.

Barcelona

Today I am in Barcelona, pursuing a Master in Management with a focus on International Business at EAE Business School, expected in 2027. I wanted to add a business lens to my creative foundation and to understand how brands grow across borders. I am also a Creative Strategist Intern at ORA, supporting paid acquisition and organic growth, and a freelance Social Media & Digital Marketing Specialist at eCreative Agency, managing social content, paid social and SEO.

Family and perseverance

My family is the reason behind most of what I do. We lost my brother, and later my mother faced cancer. Those experiences changed how I see time, gratitude and purpose. My mother’s quiet strength showed me that resilience is mostly about showing up, again and again. I carry that with me into every opportunity.

Travel and perspective

I have traveled to more than 25 countries. Every place reminded me that people see the world differently, and that good communication starts with listening. That mindset shapes how I approach brands and audiences today.

What I care about

I love branding, fashion, storytelling, health and fitness, and meeting new people. I am outgoing, ambitious and warm, and I care about doing work that feels honest and human. I am still early in my career, and I am excited to keep learning from people who are great at what they do.

I am more than a résumé. I am a person shaped by family, culture, difference and travel, and I bring all of it to the work.
