BEYOND THE BIO
Favorite sports moment at USC?
Being on the sand in Gulf Shores, Ala., for the beach volleyball team's 2021 NCAA championship, after having been cooped up for more than a year during the pandemic.
What do you love most about working in athletics?
Bearing witness to the growth of our student-athletes from the time they arrive on campus as 18-year olds to commencement day four years later is nothing short of absolutely amazing and rewarding.
What is your favorite thing to do in the city of Los Angeles?
Try all the tacos. There is so much to do and see in LA, the coolest thing to do is to try something new every day. Also - you can drive to the forest, the beach, the mountains, or the desert on any given day.
Hobbies outside of work?
I love to pretend to be a foodie. Weekends and off days are for trying new restaurants and exploring LA in new ways.
Favorite quote?
"Hakuna matata."
