I grew up in rural Georgia, where access to coding resources, mentors, and opportunities wasn't a given. I found my way into tech through a high school robotics class, a love of design and photography, and a lot of scholarships and hard work. That path taught me something I've never forgotten: access changes everything.

That belief is at the core of everything I build. I know what it feels like to be excluded and overlooked, so when I design and engineer digital experiences, I'm not just thinking about the majority user. I'm thinking about everyone. I'm currently deepening that foundation with a Master's in Human-Computer Interaction at Georgia Tech, because the best work happens when you understand people just as well as you understand the technology.

I find inspiration in everyday life and nature, and I genuinely believe that beautiful things make the world better.

My leadership philosophy is rooted in servant leadership, and the best thing I can do with the access I've been given is turn around and create more of it for others.
