Hi, I’m
.
My first encounter with a computer was when my dad brought home a Compaq Presario and let me connect to the internet to play Barbie games. I had no idea that moment of pure joy would lead me to a career in software!
When I got to Calvin University and declared Computer Science as my major, I volunteered for Girls Who Code, where I got to help make Computer Science feel a little less intimidating for girls who reminded me of myself.
Five years in health tech later, I'd built web and mobile applications across enough projects to become convinced that behind every interface is a person trying to accomplish something that matters, and that the code underneath should reflect that care. I have become passionate about making the web a more inclusive place, and I am always looking for new ways to ensure that everyone can enjoy the digital experiences I help create.
Coming to Atomic felt like the right next step: different industries, deep craft, and a team that genuinely loves what they build. Outside of work, I'm usually exploring Chicago, throwing pottery, cooking something new, or watching way too many movies.
Want to see what Atomic can do?
