About Me

As the world continues to rapidly evolve, leveraging data has become crucial for allowing organizations to maximize their productivity by identifying patterns, discovering insights, and promote strategic thinking. These developments inspired me to begin my career at Chapman University, having recently graduated in May of 2023 with degrees in Data Analytics and Business Administration.

In addition to the skills and concepts I learned at Chapman, I have had the fortune to work with NASCAR as a Data Strategy intern, spending a summer in Daytona Beach, FL engaging within the field of consumer behavior by learning about ticketing, crm, email, surveying, merchandise, and more.

Since graduating, I have recently started my first post-graduate role in July as an Account Analyst within the Touring division for the Ticket Strategy department at Eventellect. Based in Houston, TX, Eventellect partners with professional and collegiate sports teams, as well as venues all around the United States to unify their approach to single game ticket sales and transform it into a strategic business asset.

My role consists of assisting the Ticket Strategy department in pricing tickets and managing inventory related to Touring events, such as concerts, NCAA events, tennis matches, and more.

Here are a few fun facts about me:

  • My favorite TV show is Jeopardy.
  • Picked up sports and concert photography about two years ago. My dream is to photograph Bad Bunny.

  • I've lived in every corner of the continental USA. Can you guess where?
