She was a 2014 Fellow of the Riordan MBA Program at the UCLA Anderson School of Management, and is currently serving on the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce. She has been recognized as a Los Angeles Community Leader in 2016 by New York Life, and in 2015 and 2016 by the President Obama Volunteer Service Award.  She received her B.A. from UCLA in Global Studies with a minor in Public Affairs.
