# a bit about me 🔮

**i am not your average developer.**

of course, i have coding skills, get a ridiculous grin on my face when i hear the star wars theme song, and obsess over the latest frameworks. but i am also a strategist, project manager, social storyteller, and team leader.

i am also fascinated by knowledge. 😍

i believe there is always an innovative, purposeful method for brands and companies to approach their projects, products, and websites.

my work in higher education gave me intimate perspectives around diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and continuing knowledge. i have supported technology infrastructures for over 200 employees, created internal tools to increase productivity, while documenting and exploring unique, creative solutions to website requests.

currently, i am a member of technical staff at [arcade](https://arcade.dev/) focused on growth and product experiences. previously i was at asana on their ai studio (automations) and design systems teams, and before that at box on their e-commerce (growth) & product adoption teams. in these roles, i ask questions, gather data, provide options, and push the limits on what a product can do. i also very much enjoy sunny days and a cold brew. ☕️
