About Me.
I went to college at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. There I studied Industrial Design with a focus on Product Design for my bachelors. During the spring semester of my junior year at App State, I studied abroad in Belgium at HOWEST in their Industrial Design Program. I graduated in August of 2018, after completing an industrial design internship at Ideum in Corrales, NM. I worked for Ideum for a few years before moving to TN during COVID.
I am currently in a Masters program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville for User Experience and Design. Additionally, I am working as a contractor at Booz Allen Hamilton as a modeler and technical drafter.
During my spare time, I enjoy reading, baking, painting, distance running, and being with my cats.
