I’m a writer, computer technician, and outdoor enthusiast based in Portland, OR.

I received a Master of Science in Professional Writing from New York University in 2020 and was awarded the NYU 2021 Professional Writing Impact Award for my commitment to writing and communication endeavors that seek to impact society in positive ways. My thesis project merged bee conservation, collaborative communication, and crowdsourced data to develop a mobile application aimed at protecting the future of pollinators. I have a particular passion for technical and UX/UI writing, nonprofit and environmental initiatives, and empowering the next generation of women in tech.
