About Me
I want all Coloradans to benefit from the same opportunities I was afforded at our premier higher education institution. Being born and raised in Boulder, I've been around CU for my whole life.
My Connection to Colorado and CU
From attending youth programming at Fiske Planetarium to finishing Bolder Boulders at Folsom Field (I hope to see you at my 15th in 2026), I've happily seen the university transform into the force it is today.
After attending Boulder High School, I enrolled at CU Boulder in 2011, where I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Economics and International Affairs in 2015. My education prepared me to join the modern workforce, where for the last eight years I've worked full time as a Geospatial Data Scientist for a local satellite imagery company.
During my time at CU, I was an avid member of the basketball fan group the C-Unit, served as president of my newly constructed dorm in Williams Village freshman year, and interned for Mark Udall in DC sophomore year where I furthered my interest in public service. CU is where I met lifelong friends and became the person I am today.

Life in CD2
I now live in Boulder, walking distance from my childhood home. When I'm not thinking about how to make CU one of the premier institutions of higher education in the world, you can find me running local trails with my extremely cute dog, Pepper, riding my bike around town, telemark skiing in the mountains, or floating down Boulder Creek in some kind of watercraft (even tubing to work once a year).

Why I'm Running
I love CU. I'm running for regent because I want to see the university reflect the values of Coloradans and work better for all of its affiliates. I think we need tangible solutions for affordability rather than a continuation of the status quo.
As a proud 21st century alumnus, I bring a deep understanding of the modern student experience to the careful decision-making processes that regents must undertake. I've never been a career politician, which means I bring independence to challenge entrenched interests and put students and workers first.
My Commitment to You
