What are you most looking forward to as Co-Chair?
USC isn’t just a line on a resume; it’s a lifelong pulse. It’s the ‘Fight On’ shared with a stranger in a distant airport and the immediate trust that comes with the Trojan bond. As Co-Chairs, our vision is to transform this network from a directory of names into a living ecosystem of support. We want to ensure that whether you are pivoting careers, moving to a new city, or looking to give back, your first thought is, “My Trojan family has me covered.”

What’s something about you that others might not know?
I am fiercely compassionate about my family and have a deep love for travel and nature, often spending time in my vegetable and flower garden or camping in a tent. I enjoy visiting museums and taking light walks. My love of food includes homemade ethnic meals, “SmokeHouse” Garlic Bread, See’s Candies, and Baskin-Robbins ice cream—though here in Oregon, I’ve discovered Tillamook’s seasonal berry flavors are a must! I also share my home with a cat and two dogs; one will be my Service Dog, after April 2026.  

What does USC mean to you, and what you hope to achieve as network co-chair?
As Co-Chair, I don’t just want to maintain our network; I want to future-proof it. My goal is to bridge the gap between our seasoned alumni and our newest graduates. I hope to foster a culture where mentorship is a cornerstone of the Trojan experience, ensuring every grad has a clear path to success paved by those who came before them.
