In 2017 I worked on a four-month project for the Mexican Consulate of San Diego, under the direction of my mentor and professor Lucia Rodriguez. The goal of this project was to identify and catalog economic agents in San Diego that had a direct impact on the Cali-Baja region, to determine the driving forces behind investment in the region. At the end of this project, we conducted interviews with 20+ economic agents, compiled a database of 75 verified contacts and 175 companies with operations in the San Diego and Cali-Baja regions, and provided solutions to optimize investment in the area.

During my time at Ibis, I was tasked with improving our client and prospect outreach in the San Diego region. During this process I was in daily contact with top-level executives throughout San Diego, communicating through email and during our client outreach events. The goal of this process was to hit specific KPIs and increase brand recognition in the San Diego area. I excelled at this position increasing our lead conversion rate by 8% during my time at Ibis, based on data collected from salesforce and complied in excel.

In 2014 I was named as the first weekend programming coordinator for the University of San Diego and was allocated a budget of $45,000 to promote on-campus student engagement. While I lead this program, benchmarks were met through the year as we saw increased engagement through the sponsorship of regularly scheduled events. At the end of my tenure, we developed a plan for the programming board moving forward, building upon the success of the first year.

From 2015 to 2016, I served as a leader for the University of San Diego’s pre-orientation experience. During this retreat I helped transition incoming first-year students into their college experience, serving as a mentor throughout their time at USD. This position involved comprehensive planning, public speaking, and small group exercises.
