Hello! I am a computer science graduate student at the University of Utah's Kahlert School of Computing. My primary areas of interest are Human-Centered Computing and medical imaging. In addition to my coursework, I am a research assistant as part of the MICA lab in the University of Utah's Department of Radiology. My work in MICA focuses on researching and implementing methods to discover contributing factors and indicators of vascular disease.

Before beginning my journey in software development, I earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Iowa alongside a chemistry minor. I then worked as a special education para-educator for two years at a K-8 in Holladay, UT.  While earning my English degree, I gained valuable skills in critical thinking and writing. My time working in special education taught me valuable skills in patience, empathy, compassion, and resilience teaching young children life skills. While living in Iowa City, I also served as the vice president of a housing cooperative with over 40 members across 3 houses.
