I live in Santa Monica, CA |
Previously DC for 8 Years
I regularly attend art and Yelp events, play tennis, love to travel, and have an eye for design.
DC — Cultural
Bookclub
While living in DC, I founded a women’s bookclub and ran it for four years. We met in local parks, shared snacks, voted on the upcoming book choice, and regularly welcomed new people. It was both an intellectual and social outlet, connecting back to my English major and reflecting who I am at my core — a connector.
Phillips Collection and The Kreeger Museum Member
In DC, I was a Contemporaries member at The Phillips, “America’s First Museum of Modern Art,” and The Kreeger, regularly attending exhibition openings, artist talks, gallery visits, and concerts. My love and appreciation of art started young, when my parents prioritized global travel and exposed us to famous works around the world. My knack for art history clicked senior year of high school when I took AP Art History and absorbed everything like a sponge. I then minored in it in college, and studied the art of the 2015 Venice Biennale while staying at Wake Forest University’s historic house, Casa Artom.
Sports & Events Management
Social Sports
I play tennis weekly with the Santa Monica Tennis Club. Growing up I always participated in at least one sport, and my two primary ones were competitive swimming and water polo. When I was younger, I competed in 5 Junior Olympics for water polo. In college, I joined my sorority’s intramural sports teams and held the position of Intramural Sports Chair.
Event Staff & Brand Ambassador
I work part-time for Volo Sports LA, both as a referee and as event staff for their marketing team. For 7 years on the east coast I worked for DC Fray part-time, as an event lead and brand ambassador at DC Fray-affiliated events such as Pride on the Pier, Union Market Ping Pong Tournament, Hungry Human Hippos, DC Polo Society Socials, and more. I was also a sports host, refereeing cornhole, bocce, volleyball, kickball, and dodgeball. I have developed such a strong sense of community through these experiences.
Travel & Design
Travel
My parents instilled a love of travel in me, as they prioritized global adventure since I was young. However cliche it sounds, the world is big and it’s so important to experience different cultures, different climates, and different culinary delights. I’ve been to 25 countries across 6 continents, and my wanderlust will never cease.
Curation & Design
Every week I buy myself flowers and artfully arrange them in colorful vases I’ve handpicked from vintage markets (or Anthropologie). I love the craft of floral design and the joy it brings to people at an event or in their home. From travel finds to one-of-a-kind antiques, I love curating meaningful pieces and pairing them with fresh flowers or plants to bring my home to life.
Yelp Elite
Yelp Elite Squad
I love attending Yelp events at local restaurants and bars to connect with my community and discover great food. I’ve befriended other Yelpers and helped new businesses get on the map. Catch me at a store’s grand opening in LA!
FAQ
-
I grew up on an avocado farm in Riverside, California. Instead of a lemonade stand, my sister and I sold avocados for fun and would make good money. My dad initially picked the fruit and would charge us "taxes" until we got smart and picked it ourselves to lower costs.

My calendar. I'm a huge planner, and I use it to not only pencil in future events, but solidify my to-do list. I love keeping track of all the exciting (and free!) activities DC has to offer, like outdoor movies and after-hours museum nights.
