Leadership

During my time at USD, I’ve sought out opportunities to lead, create, and build community. Whether heading a nationally recognized marketing organization, launching a student club, or shaping brand presence across campus, I’ve used leadership as a way to bring ideas to life and make an impact. These roles have strengthened my skills in strategy, collaboration, and communication, helping me grow both personally and professionally.
