About me

With a backpack full of snacks and a heart full of wanderlust, I feel at home wherever there's a good espresso and network connection. From debugging code to decoding foreign menus, I love tackling new challenges with a problem-solving mindset!

By trade and by passion, I am a software developer focused on creating delightful user experiences. In the past, you could find me running a small business, working in personal healthcare and creating space for healing, and hiring contractors and managing schedules as a personal assistant.

My core values are reliability, discovery, and adventure.

My ideal team is one that values collaboration, diversity, open communication, and a healthy work-life balance. If this sounds like your team, let me know! I would love to learn more about it.
