All About me!

Hi! Thanks for visiting my website!

I currently work for the Dish and Sling division of Echostar with their Training & Quality team. Daily, I use tools like Articulate Rise, VS Code, Gemini Dev, LMS systems, and the Adobe Suite to create effective and accessible learning modules for customer service agents. My background in User Experience design and research allows me to bring a critical understanding of digital design best practices, web development and AI assisted vibe coding, and the WCAG AAA standards.

I graduated in May 2026 from 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!

Outside of UX and Web Design, 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 / History

AI 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.
