Growing up, I was always a fan of logic puzzles and complex riddles. In high school, I took my first computer science course and fell in love with programming. During my undergraduate, I have taken various algorithm courses, advanced relational databases, visualization, and more that have helped further my knowledge of computer science, deepending my understanding of both theoretical concepts and practical applications.

Outside of work, I enjoy climbing, hiking, camping, and just being outside in nature. I'm always down to try new things; recently I've picked up crocheting! I like to cook and bake, bringing my friends together over a good meal. My current board game obsessions are Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, and Catan.

I'm passionate about the environment and love going out to explore and forage! I've volunteered at a couple of organizations to help remove invasive species from our parks, and I am a hobby mycologist. I hope to use my skills and education to positively our environment and communities.
