I have been the quality assurance specialist for ORIS since 2021. I work with review
boards and perform testing to ensure that ERICA and our other projects continue to
meet the needs of our partners and are always improving. I've received a Bachelor's
in Computer Science from Weber State University, a Bachelor's in Education from UVU,
and trained as an EMT at SLCC. I've audited hotels, developed software, and provided
supported living services for an autistic child.
I love Star Wars, the outdoors, activism, and writing comedy books.
