I grew up in southern California, in the Los Angeles and Pasadena area. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I moved to Colorado in 2009 to start work on my PhD. I currently work with Dr. Katie Siek in the WII lab here at CU, where we do research in health and wellness informatics. I have also worked as a Project eCSite Graduate Fellow. You can download my current CV as a PDF, or view that information informally throughout this site.
When I’m not doing research, I enjoy playing computer and video games with my husband, cooking and baking, and reading as many science fiction and fantasy books as I can get my hands on. Recently, I’ve taken up sewing stuffed plush toys and knitting as more things to do in my free time that don’t involve staring at screens.
