Hello!
I was born in Rhinelander WI, and grew up in Duluth MN and Fort Collins CO. During my childhood I loved to doodle and to spend as much time as possible playing outside, so activities like drawing, skiing and mountain biking quickly became my passions. I also was fascinated by taking things apart and figuring out how they worked, so it makes sense that I wanted to go into an engineering-related field.
I specialize in front-end development. My strongest areas are Java, iOS, Android, and web development. I love creative computing and visualizations as well, so Processing and p5.js are really engaging to me. I prioritize using sound technical code to create a valuable end product for the user. I care about feeling connected to those I work with and those I am coding for!
Someday I hope to be a high school teacher, where I can pay it forward and be a positive adult role model for my students. I want to either teach math or computing. I can't wait to bring my passion for creativity and excitement about learning to the classroom.
