I’m a Communication Studies major with a Marketing Communications minor at Emerson College in Boston. I grew up in Vienna, Virginia, just outside D.C., where I first became curious about how people share stories and connect through them.

That curiosity has shaped everything I’ve done since. At Marriott Vacations Worldwide, I worked in marketing and sales, helping with concierge services, creating personalized welcome gifts, and shadowing the sales team. I learned how hospitality depends on small moments of care and clear communication. At Minassian Media, I focused on media research and monitoring for nonprofit, media, and philanthropic clients, which taught me how strategy begins with listening and understanding how stories reach people.

At Emerson, I’ve focused on projects that bring people together. I’m the Secretary of the Class of 2026 Council, planning events for students across campus, and the Vice President of Communications for Emerson’s American Marketing Association, where I manage social media and promote our events. Each experience has reminded me that communication, whether in hospitality, media, or community spaces, starts with making people feel seen.
