About Me

 I’m lucky to call Castle Rock, Colorado home, where I live with my family and our three dogs. Every day offers a new chance to enjoy the outdoors — whether it's gardening, walking the dogs, or simply soaking up the beautiful weather. I’m a big believer in the power of hobbies, so I also spend my free time diving into books, whether for pleasure or personal growth. And when the opportunity arises, you’ll find me vacationing near a national park — there’s just something magical about experiencing nature up close!

I keep busy with a variety of side hobbies that fuel my creativity and passion. I love painting and am currently learning the art of pottery. My garden is my sanctuary, and as a certified Colorado Master Gardener through the CSU Extension, I’m always excited to share my knowledge of plants. I also love strength training and running, having completed the Chicago Marathon twice, raising funds for meaningful charities both times.

Every day is an opportunity for growth, exploration, and making the most of life’s many adventures — and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

 With over 25 years of experience in the technology industry across both the public and private sectors, I’ve had the privilege of wearing many hats — from consultant developer and trainer to business analyst, program manager, project manager, and individual contributor in product development. Each role has shaped my understanding of how technology can drive innovation, solve problems, and create value.

As I look toward the future, my vision is to transition into a management role where I can leverage my diverse skill set to build strong teams and drive the development of products that truly resonate with customers. 

 In June 2024, I achieved a significant milestone by earning a Master of Science in Organizational Leadership from Colorado State University - Global, specializing in Strategic Innovation and Change Management. It was a challenging and rewarding journey that added a whole new layer to my professional growth.
