I grew up in a small town on the farm. Even though I never took any programming classes in high school, I was very fascinated with technology. I remember the day my brother and I got our first laptops and we played on those for days on end. I also remember going on “Take Your Kids to Work Day” with my mom who worked in IT. Later on I went on some college visits, and here I am now. I’m a junior at the University of Nebraska Omaha studying Management Information Systems.

Some of my passions include keeping up to date with technology by attending meetups, supporting women in technology by volunteering with a variety of different organizations, and writing by being the Editor-In-Chief for the Odyssey. I’m also involved with Omaha’s Random Acts of Kindness Club, work part time for Farm Credit Services of America, and am actively involved in a sorority, Zeta Tau Alpha. You can say that I definitely enjoy keeping busy!

Fun fact: I have a baby sister who is 8 months old.
