Engineer who likes customers 🔧 🫶 ❤️
I'm an engineer, teacher, and actress living just north of San Francisco in rural Sonoma County. I make my living building things in bits and bytes and teaching others to do the same. A former high school Computer Science teacher, I now work in technical customer solutions and success where I thrive on unblocking customers, wrangling bugs, and explaining APIs. I keep my teaching skills sharp as an adjunct instructor of Front End Development and Data Engineering for Promineo Tech.
I'm a graduate of Rachael Adler's 1-year conservatory program at Waterfront Playhouse in Berkeley, CA. You can sometimes find me in student films playing Drunk Mom.
