Bio

I am passionate about providing STEM education to students free of cost and work with Full STEAM Ahead to deliver hands-on workshops for K–12 students, college learners, and adult participants. My work focuses on drones, emerging technologies, and practical technical skills, with an emphasis on accessibility through community outreach and educational partnerships. A core part of what I do is encouraging and supporting women in STEM by creating welcoming learning environments, highlighting real-world career pathways, and showing that technology is for everyone. Continuing my education will allow me to bring better programming to students in rural North Dakota.
