About Me

Originally from Ontario, Canada, I now make my home in Victoria, BC.

I completed an undergraduate degree in Computer Science and Systems and worked in industry at a Seattle-area startup as product owner for an enterprise-grade, multi-platform file sharing service. In this role I honed my skills as a fierce customer advocate, technical spec-writer, and UI/UX designer for web and mobile software products.

Currently I am working at the University of Washington Tacoma as a Senior Computer Specialist in the Office of Community Partnerships. I am also working heavily with the Center for Applied Urban Research, where we ask questions about urban life and strategize ways to provide data-driven answers.

When I'm not working or completing my research, you can find me in the mountains.
