Visualization and Visual Analytics

My love for coding began with a GeoSite dedicated to my biggest passion as a young girl, animals. What I'm sure now is an incoherent website where I babbled about the importance of neutering your pets; At the time, it was amazing to me. The ability to haphazardly jumble together basic HTML to convey my passions and tell my Grandmother on the other side of the Earth that she can read what I wrote felt immensely powerful.

My current passions are still gaming and animals but now also travel and cooking. When I'm not coding madly or visiting restaurants approved by Guy Fieri across America, I'm playing Overwatch or reading a book with a cat on my lap. I'm working on a BS in Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and I get my degree in May of 2018. I currently work as a Computer Science Teaching Assitant at UIC and I'm the Alumni Liaison Coordinator of the Association of Computing Machinery at UIC as well. I spent summer of 2017 working as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory at UIC.
