About Me

I am an avid golf fan, enjoy sports and community, and appreciate working through an engineering project

Hi! I like to think of my life like a journey with celebrations and roadblocks, closed doors and exciting opportunities. Thus far, my path has led me from the University of Michigan to Phoenix, AZ. While at Michigan, I worked toward and completed my degree in computer engineering. Along the way I met friends, completed projects, played golf, and volunteered with my church. I learned how to develop friendships, work hard to meet deadlines, be a strong teammate, and cheer loudly for Michigan sports! My journey has now led me to Phoenix where I work as an engineering consultant. I have made fantastic friends, played lots of golf, and gotten pretty used to the warm weather. I am excited for the future adventures as I continue to learn and develop my passion for engineering.
