I am a UX Developer at Interactive Mechanics, where I build sites, apps, and exhibit interactives for arts, culture, and higher ed clients and co-founded Interactive Mechanics’ fellowship program for diversity and inclusion in tech. I am an active TA and volunteer with Girl Develop It Philly and was a 2015 Code for Philly Open Source Mentorship Program fellow.
I came to tech later in life, after a 12-year career as a fundraiser for some of Philadelphia’s most prestigious arts organizations. I wrote my first line of code at age 35 and built my first of many custom WordPress themes at 37. I enjoy writing front- and back-end code, and am learning to do fun things with Raspberry Pis and Arduinos. Outside of tech, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching classic films.
