Empathy in Every Opportunity

I grew up with a spirit of adventure and a heart full of empathy, always the protector and the older sibling looking out for my loved ones with unwavering dedication. Not only was my empathetic side shown through my relationships with friends and family, but also my stuffed animals. Inspired by Toy Story and Winnie the Pooh, I treated them as if they were my friends too. Not only that, but I made sure to include them in everything I did. Even now, I still treat them the same—especially my favorite guy Eeyore. 

Additionally, I developed a deep sense of empathy at an early age through the challenges I faced in my family. This allowed me to understand and feel for others deeply. This empathetic nature has become a guiding force in my life, shaping my interactions with everyone I meet. My "yes" attitude and willingness to embrace new experiences and challenges have stayed with me throughout my life. It's this spirit of adventure and openness, combined with my creativity and empathy, that makes me the resilient and loving individual I am today. I will continue to showcase this side of me by accepting new opportunities every day with empathy in mind. 

As I reflect on my childhood, I see a foundation of love, creativity, and empathy that has prepared me for a future full of possibilities and adventures. And who knows? Maybe one day, my adventures will inspire a book or the next Toy Story movie remake, but for now, I'm just enjoying the journey!

From a young age, I've always looked up to my dad for his vibrant personality and the joy he found in his career. We were often told how similar we are, and it always warmed my heart to hear that.  

Marketing is a career that plays to my strengths—identifying challenges, connecting insights, implementing solutions, and analyzing outcomes, all while generating innovative ideas. This isn't just a professional skill; I find myself using these strategies in my everyday life, especially when offering advice to my girlfriends! Ha! Additionally, after transferring schools, I had to learn how to effectively market myself, a challenge I grew to love and excel at.

It's a dynamic and engaging field that perfectly aligns with my eagerness to embrace new experiences and broaden my knowledge. Additionally, the diverse sectors within marketing offer endless opportunities for growth and learning.

As a creative and outgoing individual, I have a diverse range of interests and passions outside of my marketing career. I love hosting events, from intimate dinner parties to larger gatherings with friends and family. I'm also a bit of a music fanatic, and I enjoy creating playlists tailored to different moods, occasions, and people. 

When I'm not socializing or working, you might find me painting or drawing, indulging in some retail therapy with luxurious items I don't need, or planning itineraries for visitors to San Diego on my travel blog, Travel With Music. And of course, I'm a foodie at heart and love nothing more than dressing up to go out and explore new restaurants and cuisines. My diverse interests and passions help me stay inspired and creative in all areas of my life, and I'm always looking for new opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with others.
