About Me

I am a Software Engineer at Marqeta in the security organization, where my work is focused on building out our authentication platform. I enjoy traveling, photography, reading, and the outdoors and am passionate about early career communities, women in tech, and mentorship.

At Marqeta, I have been awarded the first-ever Marqademy Award by our CTO for founding and growing the Early Career ERG community to 100+ members. I have helped create the MQ Elevate Mentorship Program, Marqeta's first company-wide mentorship community. I am currently part of the MQ Energizer Program, which focuses on company brand awareness and recruitment. In 2021, my team was a Hack Week Winner for the Google Web Push Provisioning project, which tokenizes Marqeta-issued cards to make a card instantly available on a user's mobile device, simplifying the user shopping experience when exploring BNPL options onsite.

In May 2021, I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I receivied my Bachelor's in Computer Science & Statistics. During my time there, I was Director of Sail, Internal Vice President at Women in Computer Science, AI & Deep Learning track curator for Reflections | Projections (student-run tech conference), and in the department-wide CS Student Leadership Council. I also studied abroad at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden. Previously, I have interned at Microsoft, CloudFabrix, and Ameren.
