I’ve always known I wanted to work within my community and I have yet to find anything more rewarding (except maybe brownies). I’ve been called aggressively creative and I think it’s an accurate description of the way I approach life. I have to constantly be involved in reimagining and beautifying this world. I'm a graduate student at the University of Washington working towards a degree in library science.

Whatever has caught my attention this week.

Information Science, Libraries

I worked with a great group of people in September of 2016 to pull off our communities first TEDx event. I was the speaker lead for TEDxRichland.
