About Me

I grew up in a small town in Utah where I loved to explore and be outside. Even now, I love to find adventure, whether that’s through life experiences or just reading a book. I am eager to try new things and learn new skills, especially in the areas of design, technology, and marketing.

I love to find creative solutions to problems.

I'm passionate about helping others through technology.

I'm always ready for a new adventure where I can learn and grow new things.

I'm determined. When I see a problem or set a goal, I don't stop until the problem is solved or the goal is completed.
