Born and raised in the greater Seattle area, I attended the University of Washington, double majoring in Finance and Entrepreneurship with a minor in Dance. Following graduation, I joined Microsoft and worked as a Finance Rotational Program Analyst for two years and a Finance Manager. After three incredible years with stops in Redmond, WA, Tokyo, Japan, and Boston, MA, I have decided to pivot to a new career: interior design.

While my finance career at Microsoft offered valuable experiences and opportunities with amazing people at an amazing company, I felt a growing desire to pursue a path that more directly engaged my creative side. Ultimately, my decision to pivot was driven by a desire to align my professional life with my personal passions. I see interior design not just as an aesthetic pursuit, but as a way to create meaningful and functional spaces that positively impact people's lives.

By enrolling full-time in the Architecture & Interior Design program through UCLA Extension School, I am actively blending my analytical skills from finance with my creative sensibilities to build a career that is both personally fulfilling and impactful.
