I am a 2002 graduate of Willamette University in Oregon. I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Theatre and Art.

During Summer 2000 I worked as an intern for Santa Rosa Theater in Santa Rosa, CA. Then I went off to study in London, England, for a semester before returning to Willamette. With London as my base, I made the most of my semester abroad and explored many other parts of Europe. See My Photo Gallery for pictures of the experience.

I now live in Madison, Wisconsin where I work for Sodexo, a company that does food catering for institutions and colleges. The company received the 2009 Diversity Grand Prize for global diversity policy.

I focus much of my time and energy on competing as an elite triathlete: swimming, cycling, and running. Recently I competed for Team USA in the 2009 ITU Triathlon World Championships in Australia.
