What do you like most about your role at MMSA?

I love the collaborative environment and working for a mission-driven organization.

Favorite STEM-related memory

As a freshman in high school I was a top finisher at my school Science Fair and was invited to the State Science Fair for a project comparing the burn rates of scented and unscented candles. For someone who never felt particularly confident in science class this was a big achievement.

What did you do before you worked at MMSA?

Most of my career has been spent in small business ecosystems managing finance, marketing, human resources, and administration needs.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I love to ski! When Winter is not in session you can find me hiking with my dog, kayaking, and reading books.
