Expect the unexpected, that type of wild. Since leaving high school, I've been chasing my tail trying to figure out what I want to make do, who I want to be, etc etc and all that jazz. UIF played a big part in that. Being apart of a community full of designers all leading with love has been a priceless opportunity. Design thinking really re-designed my life. And then God came into the picture around age 25 and I did the best 180 in life. I no longer felt lost, knowing my identity in Him and walking in His unmovable peace. TLDR; God's love and UIF's empathetic design have really shaped my life wonderfully. I could gush for a long time about these topics, so just hit me up via email/call/text if you wanna chat. :)  I get excited about innovation and opportunities to be creative -- especially when in the realm of human-centered design #uiforbust. During my time at MSOE, I was heavily involved with the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) as an Outreach Coordinator, and eventually President, hosting STEAM events with kids K-12 and college students. I spent my last year of school as a Resident Assistant to 35 lovely humans and really enjoyed getting to know these individuals and watch them grow. Junior & Senior year UIF really became the pinnacle of my college career - this program is THAT cool. From leading dance workshops to facilitating design thinking workshops to hosting Freshman Welcome Week...the possibilites are endless with UIF and the design thinking mindset, all leading with empathy. About me personally, I like to jam a lot to different music - one of my favorite parts of the meetup is asking people what their favorite songs are from all around the world. I also like to dance - whether it's in the kitchen or on the dance floor - I always got a little boogie in me. I enjoy meeting new friendspeople (especially fellows <3) and hearing about their lives, especially when it's over shared food.#foodie  <br />
