My background sits at the intersection of media, data science, and storytelling, and I\u2019m passionate about helping companies harness insights to drive meaningful impact. Whether it\u2019s analyzing trends in biotech, optimizing digital strategy, or bridging the gap between creatives and industry leaders, I love uncovering the narratives hidden within data and using them to build something bigger.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7889b23 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7889b23\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bc619c7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"bc619c7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d5af91 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8d5af91\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9824c63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9824c63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>My journey into this world has been anything but linear. From running digital strategy for elected officials to producing content for Fortune 500 companies, I\u2019ve seen firsthand how innovation can transform communities. At San Diego Squared, I helped design programs that connected underrepresented students to STEM careers, and my time as a genomics intern at Illumina gave me a deeper appreciation for how data fuels groundbreaking discoveries. Now, at Connect, I\u2019m eager to continue this work\u2014helping founders, startups, and visionaries tell their stories and scale their impact.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e5dd9a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3e5dd9a\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c7c6a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6c7c6a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SD2-Illumina-Bootcamp-Group-Shot-1024x683.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-646142\" alt=\"Nico Body Image 1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SD2-Illumina-Bootcamp-Group-Shot-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SD2-Illumina-Bootcamp-Group-Shot-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SD2-Illumina-Bootcamp-Group-Shot-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SD2-Illumina-Bootcamp-Group-Shot-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/SD2-Illumina-Bootcamp-Group-Shot-2048x1365.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-903dc6c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"903dc6c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ce5139 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3ce5139\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-253c5d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"253c5d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Image-1119-3000x1885-1-1024x643.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-646143\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Image-1119-3000x1885-1-1024x643.webp 1024w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Image-1119-3000x1885-1-300x189.webp 300w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Image-1119-3000x1885-1-768x483.webp 768w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Image-1119-3000x1885-1-1536x965.webp 1536w, https:\/\/connect.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Image-1119-3000x1885-1-2048x1287.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56878ff e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"56878ff\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8d0696 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d8d0696\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b94363f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b94363f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Beyond my love for data and digital strategy, I\u2019m a San Diegan through and through.
