Originally from Sacramento and a UCLA alum, I have over eight years of experience managing all phases of multi-million-dollar projects in the Right-of-Way industry. My background includes coordinating complex efforts across teams, timelines, and technical requirements to keep things moving smoothly and on budget.

For the past two and a half years, I’ve been with LA Metro, where I’ve continued to build on that foundation—working on projects that shape how people move through their cities. I’m especially interested in the space where planning, public infrastructure, and community impact come together. Never a dull moment within Metro’s Real Estate’s Department. 

When I'm not working, you’ll often find me volunteering at the Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center. In my downtime, I’m courtside from the couch, passionately rooting for the Sacramento Kings.
