ABOUT ME

I'm a USC student pursuing dual degrees in Themed Entertainment and Industrial & Systems Engineering. My work sits at the intersection of creative design, engineering, operations, and strategy, with a focus on turning ambitious ideas into real-world experiences.

Through personal projects, coursework, industry organizations, and professional experience, I've explored how experiences are imagined, built, operated, and evaluated.

MY APPROACH

I am most interested in the spaces where creativity and execution overlap. Whether designing an interactive experience, optimizing a guest journey, managing operations, or evaluating market opportunities, I enjoy understanding both the vision and the systems required to bring it to life.

UCLA Summer Sessions

Student

Media Parks: The Cinematic & Televisual History of Theme Parks - In class, students immerse themselves in research, analysis, and lively discussion, exploring case studies of rides and themed lands through scholarly texts, reference films, television shows, and video games. This academic foundation prepares them for the next step—bringing theory to life through firsthand experience.

Mechanical Engineering: Go Karts - This practical course aims to teach prospective engineers the thrill of a multi-disciplinary, end-to-end team-based engineering design. As with most large projects, they are broken into smaller cycles that are solved independently and then integrated. Over the course of the project, students will learn how to give technical presentations and learn fundamental engineering concepts.
