All About me!
Hi! Thanks for visiting my website!
I am a graduating senior at the University of Colorado Boulder pursuing a B.S. in Information Science, a minor in Creative Technology and Design Engineering, and a certificate in User Experience Design!
I currently work for the Office of Information Technology at CU as an undergraduate UX/UI designer with the UX Team. I work daily with tools like Figma, Illustrator, and Qualtrics to conduct user research and user-centered design processes. I also have a rich background in web development and accessible web design.
Outside of UX, I am a theater artist and actor. I have been involved in numerous productions at the college level and for CU Presents.

What I’ve Been Up to
Mr. Burns!
I recently finished a two month rehearsal and two week performance for Mr. Burns: A Post Electric Play with CU Presents!
Performing is incredibly important to me because it allows me to build better public speaking skills and apply them within the professional workplace and stakeholder presentations.
Acting / Art Study Abroad
I spent the summer studying abroad in Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden pursuing a passion of mine, Viking Age history and literature!
Above is a picture of a pre-Viking Age funeral mound in Denmark!
I completed three courses: Norse Mythology, Power of Women in the Viking Age, and World of Vikings!
Literature / HistoryAI EThics
I’ve been featured in CMDI Now to discuss the Information Science perspective on Artificial Intelligence at CU Boulder and beyond!
I’m incredibly grateful to be part of Information Science at CU, where we learn to evaluate AI usage and outputs critically by acknowledging bias, source material, and environmental impacts. Instead of embracing these tools blindly, we’re encouraged to question and critique them.
