About

Code. Teach. Impact.

I'm a Senior Software Engineer — and I've never believed that building great software and building great people are separate pursuits. I do both, every day.

At Hobby Lobby, I lead mobile development for the Museum of the Bible app. At UCO, I teach C# and SQL to the next generation of engineers. At iCode, I hand kids their first line of Python. At Life.Church, I operate cameras for a global streaming audience and lead a 7-person volunteer team in the God Behind Bars Prison Letter Ministry — coordinating correspondence between church members and incarcerated individuals across the prison system.

In 2025, I was named a NextGen Under 30 Oklahoma honoree. In 2026, I was honored as a Women of Impact by the United Nations Association of Oklahoma City — recognized alongside Jena Marr, the first female president of Redlands Community College, for contributions to technology education, STEM equity, and community empowerment aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
