About

Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Visual and Performing Arts at The University of Texas at Austin, with an expected graduation in 2028. Most recently served as the Co-Founder for the Incarnate Word Academy Debate Club, where I developed a sustainable training curriculum, coordinated member recruitment, and maintained effective communication between students, faculty, and the Texas Forensic Association. Core competencies include project coordination, sustainable procurement training, and leadership. At the Incarnate Word Academy Debate Club, I contributed to the team’s foundation by fostering collaboration and open communication among members and stakeholders. I am motivated by a forward-thinking mindset and the desire to create lasting systems of growth and development. By combining my academic background in the arts with practical leadership experience, I aim to bring creativity and structure to multidisciplinary teams.
