A Little About Me...

When I’m not working on web projects or learning more about the industry, you can usually find me enjoying time with my husband and kiddos.

When we’re not hitting the Colorado slopes for family skiing adventures in the winter, we love to spend our summer weekends camping near a lake and exploring the great outdoors.

Additionally, I’m an avid reader, and always have a book on hand to enjoy during my free time. My husband and I appreciate working out together, attending church together, and I’m a big fan of sketching, painting and playing the ukulele – all are great stress relievers and fun ways to express myself creatively.

Let's Talk...

Interested in a Zoom chat to talk about interesting things with a cup of your favorite beverage? Feel free to reach out! I love discussing new projects and connecting with other leaders in the creative space.
