  • Whether I'm chasing after squirrels in the park or napping in a sunbeam, I live life to the fullest. My nose is my best friend, always leading me on adventures to explore the world, one scent at a time. I've mastered the art of the "puppy eyes" and can charm anyone into sharing their snacks with me. :poultry_leg:

    Life is a grand adventure, and I'm your loyal co-pilot. Let's embark on this journey together, one tail-wag at a time!

Originally from a small town outside of Fort Wayne, Indiana, I now reside in Austin, TX. I grew up the oldest of four younger brothers. I was a first-generation college graduate, starting college at 16 years old. This was partially due to my work-ethic and also to do with needing the scholarships to afford university. University opened me up to so many wonderful opportunities. I was in a sorority, the president of the history society, member of the anthropology society, and occasionally an intramural softball player.

After my undergrad, I moved to Chicago, IL. There I was connected with the most amazing people. I was able to widen my social and professional horizons exponentially. I worked on projects with NASA, DOD, Northwestern, and more. I was able to combine my love of knowledge into my work and personally by attending lectures and talks and volunteering. I was growing more passionate about the UX space and with support from colleagues and friends, I decided to pursue a MS in Human Computer Interactions. This opened the door to many opportunities, which eventually led me to Austin, TX. I have had the opportunity to expand into fintech, hospitality, technology hardware, and several more.

In my spare time, I embrace my love for volunteering, exploring the world through travel, and channeling my creativity into various DIY projects. Whether I'm helping a community, going on an adventure, or crafting something unique, my goal is to have creativity and adventure in my life. I take pride in the cool projects I've accomplished and am always excited to explore new avenues that let my creative side shine.
