I currently work in the Institutional Research office at Highline College in the beautiful South Puget Sound. I graduated from the University of Chicago in the Master of Science in Computational Analytics for Public Policy program in 2021.

I’m also a community college / open access education fan, a visual artist and a lover of learning.
