I grew up having a wide variety of interests: as a kid I taught myself how to program a computer; I took 10 years of piano lessons and even played keyboards in a couple of “garage bands”; I enjoyed writing stories, poetry, and songs, and was a columnist and Music Editor for my high school paper. No wonder it was such a hard decision to choose a career path!

I decided to become a Software Engineer, leveraging both my love of technology and my creative side. After graduating from University of Michigan with a BS in Computer Science, I was a software developer and eventually was promoted to manager. While working full-time against perpetually tight deadlines, I earned two Master’s degrees including an MBA from Berkeley Haas.

Shortly after earning my MBA, I took on marketing, sales, and business operations roles in the wine industry – and even went to culinary school and became a Certified Sommelier. I also spent some time in EdTech, managing the Silicon Valley campus of a coding bootcamp. I am currently combining my customer management, engineering, and marketing background to help small businesses with their technical and marketing needs, as the creative producer, designer, and director for RaiderHawk Media.

Along with the marketing and application development work I do for RaiderHawk Media, I am actively pursuing my passion for photography. I hope you enjoy exploring my personal portfolio as much as I’ve enjoyed taking these images.
