Learn my story

It started with dad's gadgets

Growing up, my dad was always building something—circuits, gadgets, robots—even an Escape Room. That curiosity stuck - so I decided to turn it into a career.

I see data as a way to tell stories, tech as a way to build tools that matter, and my work as a chance to make a real impact.

At 16, I moved out.

I graduated from BYU Independent Study with an advanced high school diploma at 16, packed up, and moved out to start college at Utah Tech University.

A year later, I transferred to BYU–Idaho to be closer to my family and dive deeper into their CS program. I haven't looked back since.

What drives me forward

Grace leading a team

I love leading.

I love bringing people together to solve problems - it's where I do my best work. There's something deeply satisfying about turning plans into progress. I really enjoy being the person who helps take an idea and bring it to life.

Grace working on projects

I want to make an impact.

I'm most fulfilled when contributing to work that creates real, tangible value—whether through design, data, research, or code. It's not just about building things, but building things that matter.

Grace learning and growing

I value learning and growth.

I'm endlessly curious. I love learning new tools, new methods, and new perspectives. Whether it's picking up a new framework, diving into a dataset, or asking better research questions, I'm always looking for ways to grow and improve.

Beyond the screen

When I'm not working or studying, I'm usually reading, tuning into podcasts, lifting at the gym, or warming up my brain with the full suite of NYT puzzles—every morning, without fail.

I am also the former opinion editor of Utah Tech's student newspaper, Sun News. I wrote about everything from campus issues to the best Superbowl ads.
