Her interest in VR began in 2009 when she became an early adopter of online virtual worlds. In 2019, she founded Dope Nerds, focusing on leveraging her technical expertise to provide innovative and impactful learning experiences for youth and under-represented communities. She resigned from her full-time career in 2021 to devote herself fully to this mission.
