Bits and bobs about me
Though born in Massachusetts, I’ve lived most of my life in Minnesota with my lovely mother, father, and older sister. I adore stories of every medium (with a soft spot for reading and playing Dungeons & Dragons), petting dogs, and sneezing while petting cats.
Currently throwing myself headfirst into the world of user experience design, I enjoy learning the whats and whys of these fascinating beings called humans. Designing features to suit is just as fun.
My Alternate selves
(AKa D&D Characters)
But first, you ask, what is D&D? Dungeons & Dragons is a collaborative game, where a group of people sitting around a table use theater of the mind combined with basic art skills to bring characters to life and go on adventures. We put ourselves into our characters’ shoes and solve problems within the world as a team, using diplomacy and strategy alike. D&D is also what allowed me to become comfortable speaking in front of a small group.

Fire spells are her first and second choices for solving every problem; hugging people is her third.

While she despises her so-called patron, she lives in fear of the day he loses interest in her playing his game.
