Software Quality Engineer

Nice to meet you! :)


Hi there! I'm a passionate Software Quality Engineer at Mountain America Credit Union, where I have been dedicated to ensuring the highest quality of our products for the past year. I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Utah State University and previously honed my skills in a couple internships including one at a local software company called beatBread!

Beyond the Code

When I'm not navigating the exciting world of software, you'll likely find me chasing after a pickleball or volleyball court in the summer. Winters are for hitting the slopes and enjoying the thrill of skiing. And year-round, I'm always ready for a good movie marathon.

I'm excited to connect with you and learn more about your projects!
