About

I am a polymer engineer and philanthropist with 5+ years of experience in engineering and understanding polymer thin films and 10+ years of experience in leadership and advocacy through STEM education/outreach and the direction of 501c3 organizations that address systemic inequity in the arts.

I am also a classical pianist.

I was born in Haslett, Michigan. Growing up, my parents were both professors of organic chemistry. My mom still teaches. I have a younger brother. I have lived in New York City; Providence, Rhode Island; and Ann Arbor, Michigan. Currently, I live in the Twin Cities.
