What brought you to Edafio?
I heard about Edafio at a hacking competition called Jolt at UALR and the company really caught my attention. Once I got close to finishing my degree, I began applying for internships with Edafio and was fortunate to receive one that turned into a full time position.

When not at work, I spend most of my free time with my daughter doing various art projects, playing music, reading, and getting as much outdoor time as possible.
