About

As a musical theater kid who always connected deeply with arts and humanities, I assumed that tech and I had nothing to do with each other. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Anthropology and Sociology and channeled my creativity into improv.

But learning about user experience design revealed the industry's need for my user-centered strengths: empathy, communication, and humor. From there I discovered I could code and shockingly, that I loved it. I jumped on the opportunity to enroll in the part-time evening Full Stack Web Development program at Nashville Software School.

As an improviser I thrive within a team that trusts each other enough to build a scene together; a motto is, “you bring a brick and I bring a brick.” Development is like that, satisfying my creative need for collaboration and breaking a problem into a series of steps. Performing onstage has dissolved my fear of being wrong, being vulnerable, or trying something new. I am inspired to learn continuously.
