    I graduated from Towson University in 2016 with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science. During my time at Towson, I worked for the Housing Residence Life Department and loved helping students transition to living away from home for the first time and putting on many events for Res Life. I found that I loved being behind the scene in the success of those around me. Working on the engineering team here at Cadmium, I am able to continue what I love by being behind the scenes for making all your events a success.

    Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, sweet son, and our shy pup, Winston. We love going on walks and explore new towns, especially if there is a winery. We're wanna be sommeliers, so we'll take any chance we get to learn more about wine in the region. We also enjoy flipping houses and bringing life to forgotten places. If you don't catch us with power tools or wine in our hands, you'll most likely find us catching up on the newest movies and hit shows.

We later specialized in event technology – delivering real-time race results, same-day photos, and video clips for over 1000 events throughout the US and abroad.

    Being married with two young children, we decided to settle down and sell the business, and I'm extremely grateful to have found Cadmium, an event technology company just 6 miles down the road!
