Building Beyond the Field

My projects reflect a commitment to advocacy, storytelling, and creating meaningful opportunities for others. From developing an International Student-Athlete Welcome Packet and authoring Dream It! to leading impactful initiatives through SAAC and EmpowHER at ASU, I have transformed ideas into resources and experiences that foster connection, encourage growth, and make a lasting impact.

Dream It!
Author & Creator·2025–2026

Dream It!

Dream It! is an empowerment-focused children’s book developed from an initial concept into a publication-ready venture. I shaped the story, writing, brand identity, and production strategy while building and presenting a comprehensive business plan and investor pitch deck. Through multiple stages of venture development and pitching, the project has grown into an investment-ready initiative designed to inspire young readers to dream boldly and believe in the limitless possibilities ahead of them.
