She works in the high performance computing area where she provides technical support, training, and consulting expertise for a suite of distributed memory development tools.

As a woman in technology, she’s passionate about recruitment and retention of women in the STEM fields. Her efforts vary from teaching middle school girls about what an LED is to speaking at a local Women in Tech conference. Her favorite time of year is when attending the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (followed closely by Halloween).
