About

I'm a Texan, born and raised, though I spent all of my years in college and graduate school in the northeast. I attended MIT, where I obtained a BS in Biology, and then received a MS in Cell and Molecular Biology from UPenn. After leaving the northeast, I moved back to the Dallas area to be a bit closer to my family, and landed a job at Collin College. Initially, I was lab staff, and prepped and taught biology labs. I recognized early on in during my tenure that students across our campuses needed a consistent lab experience. To address this, I set to work filming video lectures and reviews and posting them to YouTube. The problem then was disseminating the information to students, and not just those in my classes. To develop a central repository of these videos, and other content, I taught myself to code in HTML and CSS. Over the last eight years, I have worked to better my understanding of web and graphic design. Along the way, I have picked up additional skills that have helped me to achieve this. Now, as I work on new strategic initiatives and projects, I do so with very distinct objectives: create functional, student facing assets, AND, ensure that those assets are clean, concise and well designed.
