As a technophile, I enjoy immersing in new technology and provide consultation in using them for brands that I work on. I am also a published illustrator who draws on my iPad during my commute (as @commuteartist on Instagram) which led to Viola Davis owning piece of my artwork! I have also been an illustration contributor for ESPN and I am an Adobe Brand Ambassador. In my spare time, I train for ultramarathons (running up to 50 miles) and trains for half ironman triathlons. I also volunteer for organizations that are STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)-related and elevate Women—especially those of color.
