I make engineering orgs better. My day-to-day life goes like this: I code, I lift weights, I read comic books. I've co-authored more than 50 peer-reviewed articles on synchrotron spectroscopy of magnetic materials and have coordinated undergraduate student activities across the western United States for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). On good weeks, I see the world. I like the desert, particularly Canyonlands National Park. I have fenced, boxed, and played softball somewhat competitively but was thrown out of ballet. In college I was the High Priestess for the Campus Crusade for Cthulhu and have the medieval heavy weaponry to prove it. I sometimes volunteer at the Crucible, an industrial arts studio in Oakland.
I'll next be speaking at the IEEE Rising Stars conference on Jan 5, 2025 in Las Vegas. Swing on by!
