I am currently a Full Stack Engineer at Intellicheck. Since joining Intellicheck, I have become the lead engineer on a crucial React project. As 1 of 3 engineers, I have also worked hands-on with clients for troubleshooting implementation issues or curating UIs to their needs. I am in constant communication with other teams to ensure our code is steadily moving to client-facing environments. In my day-to-day, I use React, React Bootstrap, Bootstrap, and TypeScript, and I have recently been using Python more to implement backend solutions. I have also gotten some exposure to NextJS in another project. I do not consider myself an artist, but creating UIs makes me think otherwise! I love making responsive interfaces and new designs to present to the team.

I was a member of the R-House Lab from June 2020 to July 2023. I've had several roles in this position. I intially designed interactions for social robots to have with humans. I then participated in the HRI Student Design competition in 2021 and won the Best Student Design Competition CREATIVITY Award with our prototype robot movie companion Crunchy.
I worked on was annotating video data with a colleague for training data for our Visual & Physiological project: Measuring Engagement with Children. I also worked on another project with Toyota Research Institute to analyze Japanese older adults and their sense of ikigai (purpose of living) and how a social robot named QT can increase the adults' senses of ikigai.

From the May-August 2022, I worked as a Software Engineer Intern at Relativity. For most of the summer, I worked individually on frontend tasks using JavaScript. While collaborating with the other intern on the team, we created a NuGet package that would assist in retrieving data from New Relic Dashboard. We created Unit Tests for this package, as well as for any individual task we had.
I learned how to debug and also learned the SCRUM process through Kanban. I created various pull requests through BitBucket and frequently used the Networks tab in Chrome for Testing API endpoints. Additionally, I became more efficient in communicating questions or progress to my team, and became faster at assessing situations from interacting with other engineering teams.

CEW&T provides a safe Community for women and their allies to learn about technology in a variety of ways. I interned there from August 2021-May 2022 with the Ethical AI team . This was a brand new team at the time, so I and my two other colleagues created the foundation for the team. We worked in a fast paced environment with weekly deadlines to ensure that fun and informative events would happen once a month.
My role on the team would rotate with each event. I worked with Adobe Spark and XD for designing flyers. I also designed presentations and researched content. Because we were a new team, we also gathered resources on AI, such as different existing programming libraries, as well as movies, books, or starter projects, to provide everyone who came to our events.
