About

October 4th, 2011

I am a New England native who relocated to the Northwest 5 years ago. I work at Microsoft as Program Manager in Visual Studio on the Code Experience team.
When I’m not writing code and designing new IDE features, I can be found on campus volunteering with the many women’s organizations (Women in IT and Microsoft Women) and sharing my stories with high school females visiting with the IGNITE program. I love working at Microsoft and I’m really passionate about building better and more productive developer tools.

I graduated from Northeastern University in Boston, MA with a Bachelor of Science in Information Science degree. I participated in 3 cooperative education internships and graduated with 2 and 1/2 years of work experience (Harvard Univeristy and The Gillette Company – now Proctor & Gamble). I was also very involved in the Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority where I held the position of Director of Finance for 2 years and Web Developer for our external and internal websites.

When I'm not at work, my husband Kevin and I can be found hiking/camping the mountains of Washington, at Red Sox vs. Mariners games, BBQing, golfing, or out on the town with the Seattle crew. We also spend quite a bit of time volunteering with the Education First Seattle Chapter which is a non-profit scholarships foundation that provides need-based college scholarships for high school seniors that attend high schools with historically low percentages of college applicants. I am also the Chapter Leader for Northeastern University’s Alumni Seattle Chapter and really enjoy planning events for the 968 alumni out here in Washington! I also play 3rd chair Trombone in the Microsoft Jazz Band.

I definitely miss spending my summer weekends on Cape Cod, but nothing compares to the Pacific Northwest!
