About Me

Currently, I work at Michigan State University in IT’s Educational Technology Department. Over the past 2.5 years, I have developed trainings, led workshops, and supported faculty and staff through consultations focused on digital accessibility. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Web Design from MSU, where I also completed internships updating and remediating online content across the university. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in User Experience at MSU and plan to graduate in Spring 2027.
