i work for dr. oleg vasilyev in the multi-scale modeling and simulation lab in the department of mechanical engineering at the university of colorado at boulder.

when i am not working on my thesis, i enjoy spending time with friends and family. my husband, scott, and i have a dog named copper, who currently takes up and deserves all of our attention. other than that, we spend our time doing the types of things you do in colorado: hiking, skiing, biking and playing sports. i thoroughly enjoy cooking, eating and drinking coffee. i also love to dance and have been doing it all my life.
