I am from Ashland, Oregon, and came to Minnesota for college in 2011. I got my undergrad degree at tbe University of Minnesota in Anthropology and pre-med studies. I also went the the U for grad school and gratuated in August, 2017 with a Master of Science in Medical Device Innovation. I currently work at a venture capital firm, where I make investment decisions in the med-tech industry. I enjoy working with inventors and start-ups, and am currently patenting a cardiovascular medical device. I have been interested in learning how to code for many years, and hope that this new skill makes me more informed and equippped as an entrepreneur. I especially enjoy front-end design. In my free time I enjoy volunteering fly fishing, traveling, horseback riding, skiing, snowboarding, waterskiing, boxing, and painting. ©
