My interest in engineering and science began at a young age, inspired
by two parents in engineering fields who would point to things and
explain to me how they worked. My teachers encouraged me further
by suggesting I take higher-level math and science classes. I excelled
in these classes and found myself reading science magazines to learn
more.
I attended Lehigh University where I obtained a B.S. in Mechanical
Engineering and then moved on to Stanford University, where I obtained
an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering Design.
After graduating, I quickly gravitated toward software and ended
up starting a web applications software company, which is what I
am still doing currently. The most exciting part of my career is
being able to work for myself doing something that I really enjoy.
Though I have been lucky enough to have great support along the
way I have found that on occasion I have been required to work a
little harder to earn the respect I deserve in the classroom and
in the workplace. I have overcome this barrier by simply doing my
best, and am happy to say that I am viewed as an equal by all of
my peers - male and female alike.
