As a second-generation American and a first generation college graduate, I have always embraced new life experiences and the pursuit of knowledge. I am a proud graduate of the University of Mississippi and I currently reside next to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in East Tennessee, although my roots are originally in sunny Southern California. In my free time you’ll often find me immersed in a good book, the longer the better! However, my interests extend far beyond books. I also love to spend time in the kitchen, making passed down recipes from my German and Spanish heritage and dabbling in dishes from other cultures. I even named my cat Pesto after my favorite food. Outside of my hobbies, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. I volunteer at an animal rescue on the weekends and am a very active participant in my sorority and university alumni organizations. My professional life revolves around my fascination with data. I am a true data nerd, finding immense satisfaction in the process of transforming complex webs of information into something comprehensible, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing. This has translated to implementing my work into my home life, as well – check out my blog to read about some of my personal projects. My experiences and interests have strongly shaped my approach to life and my dedication to both my personal and professional endeavors.
