==Please tell us about yourself==
I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. I developed an interest in the geosciences from an early age through my grandfather, who was a geologist for many years. I studied geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines. Interestingly, I had almost no prior coding experience before my sophomore year at Mines, when I took an introductory programming course with Dave Hale that sparked a passion for coding and changed the trajectory of my studies and career.  

After Mines, I have had the good fortune of working with talented individuals across a variety of companies.  Most of my work has been on software and R&D for oil and gas service companies.  Recently, I transitioned out of the energy industry and into the broader tech industry at large as a data scientist.
