When I’m not building computer science programs for students and teachers and creating innovative programs for professionals to spark an affair with creativity I can be found taking photos, doing art, and dancing. I spend a lot of time with my equally geeky and techie husband thinking about big problems that can change the way the world works. At times you may even find me breaking out jingles and slogans from the 80s based on the conversation at hand.
