Graduating with a degree in Screenwriting and Film Criticism, and double-minoring in News-Editorial Journalism and English, her collaboration with local and national publicity agencies as a film reviewer for the college newspaper earned her a pre-graduation job offer with the PR film representing Warner Brothers and Paramount Pictures.

Her love for independent, art-house, and genre films inspired a deep love for film festivals, where early volunteer roles ultimately earned her positions as Director of Programming and Artistic Director for The Asian Film Festival of Dallas.

She was the company's press contact, content marketing lead, global film festival liaison, and English subtitles editor. She was also their trailer development lead, garnering four nominations and two Golden Trailer Awards for Copywriting and Art Direction.
