About Me
When I discovered marketing in college, I was hooked. Over the past three years, I have dedicated myself to learning and growing as a marketer and business professional.
I am originally from Fort Lauderdale, Florida but attended college in Columbia, South Carolina. I graduated magna cum laude from the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business and South Carolina Honors College in 2025 with a double major in marketing and international business and a minor in Spanish. I am currently a Master in Management student at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management with an anticipated graduation date of June 2026.
I bring a unique perspective to marketing, having been raised in an international family by an Austrian mother and an American father. This distinctive upbringing instilled in me a lifelong passion for travel and learning about other cultures. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to study business in countries like Thailand, Cuba, Czechia, and Argentina through the Moore School. I speak fluent German and Spanish, and I am particularly interested in the intersections of strategy, communication, marketing, and cross-cultural engagement.
Presently, I am a digital media marketing associate at the Darla Moore School of Business, where I create promotional materials to attract students to the Moore School’s MBA program, modernize MBA presentations to align with the school’s brand identity, and manage MBA student data to track job placements.
Previously, I have completed marketing internships at HG Wealth Advisors and United National Consumer Suppliers (UNCS), as well as a business internship at HB Elements. In addition, I have served as a student consultant through USC’s Center for Marketing Solutions, where I worked on semester-long initiatives to craft go-to-market strategies for paying clients. I have also worked as a peer writing tutor through USC’s Student Success Center.
When I am not working or studying, I enjoy traveling, cheering on my favorite sports teams (the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Florida Panthers), exploring the Chicago culinary scene, hot yoga, spending time with my dog, line dancing, and skiing.
