I have a great appreciation for the arts, whether it’s gallery hopping in Chelsea, NY or attending Artsplosure annual festival in downtown Raleigh. I fancy photography, b&w photo darkrooms, and making interactive art installations (see Max/MSP). School provided me with an outlet to learn new concepts, techniques, and explore and refine my ideas. I received my BFA in Photography from the University of Florida (Only school EVER to have reigning Men's Basketball and Football Champions in the same school year!—Go Gators!). I followed this up with a MFA in Computer Graphics from Syracuse University. Yes I know, I did the questionable jump from the sunny beaches of Florida to Blizzard Country, but you have to be open to new experiences. It was a great experience nonetheless. We did get to travel quite a bit including to our most favorite place to visit—New York City.

Outside of the digital realm, my time is well spent with my dear husband and my beautiful daughter. I really enjoy listening to music, going to shows, dancing, whitewater rafting (this is new) and learning new things. I am surprisingly good at playing pool; at least I like to pretend I am. My imagination provides me with this luxury.

I love my job, and working with an extremely talented group of individuals day in and out makes my job that much more rewarding.
