A path that wasn’t
supposed to exist.

I moved to Los Angeles at sixteen, stepping into a completely new world while figuring out who I wanted to become. My path wasn’t linear. I started at Cal State LA, and transferring to UC Berkeley felt out of reach to most people around me. I heard “that’s unrealistic” more times than I can count.

But I kept going anyway. And I made it.

That experience changed how I see everything. I don’t wait for permission — I build toward the life I want.

Exploring

Making people
feel something real.

I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Public Relations & Advertising at USC, where I focus on storytelling that connects emotionally, visually, and strategically. Whether I’m building social media content for an AI startup or running my own photography studio, Nono Studio, I’m always asking the same question: how do we make people feel something real?

Outside of work, I’m constantly exploring — new cities, new ideas, new versions of myself. I love traveling, not just for places, but for perspective. I find balance in movement and expression on the tennis court, in the gym, or singing (often louder than necessary).

New cities,
new perspective.

I love traveling — not just for places, but for what it does to how I see the world. Every trip adds a new layer to who I am.

In Motion

Tennis, gym,
singing loud.

I find balance in movement and expression — on the court, in the gym, or singing often louder than necessary. These are how I recharge.

One More Game

League & Valorant
at 2 am.

I tell myself “just one game” and suddenly it’s 2 am. I believe this side matters just as much as the one searching for meaning.

Still building,
still exploring,
still becoming.

And then there’s the other side of me: the one who queues up for League of Legends or Valorant, tells myself “just one game,” and suddenly it’s 2 am.

I believe both sides matter — the one searching for meaning, and the one just having fun.

I’m still building, still exploring, still becoming.
