About

I'm a Software Engineer at Williams International, where my code plays a role in jet engine development and testing. Not your average day job, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I studied Computer Science at Wayne State University (Detroit), where I made the Dean's List four times. Recently, I was a speaker at a Society of Women Engineers event at Oakland University.

I'm currently finishing my Master's in CS with a focus on AI — because apparently building software for aerospace isn't challenging enough on its own.
