*About Me

Putting aside my degrees and professional experience, I spend time creating art, hiking, biking the Boulder Thursday Night Cruiser, playing Dungeons and Dragons, and hanging with my cats!

Washington

I grew up in Washington State, where I climbed many mountains with my mountaineer father. I was also fortunate enough to grow up near the water, where I grew a curiosity about the world around me.

Tucson, Arizona

2018 to 2022

Arizona

I went to Tucson, Arizona for my undergrad in systems engineering. This less well known city has much to teach me, as did the state. I grew to love the desert and its monsoons deeply while here, despite the 120 degree summer days.

Colorado

2022 to Current

Denver &
Boulder

My partner and I moved here to find work more aligned with our interests and more economic vitality. We quickly fell in love with Boulder, and finally moved here in 2024, where we continue to thrive!

Things I'm Up To!

What do I do in my free time?? Too much, I'm told.

The Boulder Cruiser Bike Ride

I love to bike, and I love music. The Boulder Cruiser's got it all! That and community and more, it's a blast.

That's my road bike pictured above.

Creating Artwork

I've been an artist since forever, I love working with Gouache, Watercolor, Ink, and Digital tools.

Building Community

Those who know me know I'm always working to build social ties and frankly forming more relationships than I have time for. I'm very social, and genuinely love to bring people together.

When I'm not in school I'm also often volunteering, usually with the FIRST Robotics program, or Wildlands Restoration Volunteers

My Cats, Keiko & Willow
