SIGGRAPH 2022
I am a media arts and pipeline manager at Walt Disney Imagineering, where I help “Make the Magic.” I have been a longtime volunteer with ACM SIGGRAPH. I started as a Student Volunteer and have served as Emerging Technologies Chair, Experience Hall Chair, General Submissions, and most recently SIGGRAPH 2020 Conference Chair. When I’m not working, l love being outdoors playing tennis, taking my dog on new walking adventures, gator watching, DIYing everything, and spending time with my husband.
