From attending a math and science high school where I first encountered robotics, to attending a liberal arts college where I spent most of my time in art and architectural design studios, model building, drafting, and welding, I have a passion for learning new skills. I realized this passion after coming home from a 7 month, post-graduation stint teaching English in South Korea. Upon arriving back stateside, I had decided to start teaching myself a programming language because it seemed like a good skill to have, and suddenly I was hooked. I couldn`t stop taking free online classes, and I thought, why not turn it into a career? This led me to where I am today, coding away, writing Javascript across the full stack of a number of web, mobile, and progressive web applications, and exploring my love for problem solving and building things every day!

My main research interests lie in environmental survey design and analysis, spatial statistics, and software development. I also enjoy applying statistical methodology to collaborative work in a variety of other scientific fields. Profile ©
