I’m a Grad Student at Rochester Institute of Technology, getting my Masters in Arts Education. I also got my BFA from RIT in New Media Design, where I discovered my passion for UI/UX, as well as web design, animation, motion graphics, and prototyping. I love making things that move and engage.
I grew up right here in Rochester, so you can often find me going to some of my favorite places to visit like the MAG, Record Archive, and the pier at Charolette Beach. Oh, and of course eating garbage plates at Henrietta Hots.
Besides design and teaching, I also love to play soccer, snowboard, play on RIT’s quidditch team, watch movies with friends, and travel.

This summer I studied abroad in the Galapagos Islands and Quito, Ecuador. My friends and I got to see many different landscapes and animals including Giant Tortoises, Blue Footed Boobies, Marine Iguanas, and Sea Lions. We even got to swim with sea turtles and sharks! Besides the wildlife we got to explore the different cities we lived in, try amazing new foods, experience the Ecuadorian culture, and meet many awesome people. (I have lots of photos and stories so feel free to ask)
Oh, and this is my 17 year old cat Zoe. I got her for Christmas in Kindergarten. She’s awesome.
