Freshmen year at Duke, I decided to apply for Baldwin because I thought it would be an excellent chance to meet strong, independent women, and I was not disappointed throughout my time in the program. Baldwin showed me the various types of people that attend Duke and how to be comfortable with myself and my story amongst them. I made lifelong friends through the program, and thirteen years later, I continue to be in awe of the diverse, talented, inspirational group of women Baldwin finds and nurtures.
 
I graduated from Duke with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Civil Engineering degree with a Certificate in Architectural Engineering. I worked for five years after as a civil engineer in Virginia, DC, and California. On the side, I was running my own small calligraphy and design business (www.brownfoxcalligraphy.com), which fed into my passion for art. In August 2015, I quit my civil engineering job to pursue my calligraphy business full time, and it has been incredible. Of course running my own business comes with many challenges, but the independence and satisfaction I get from accomplishing projects on my own and running a successful company far outweighs those obstacles. I moved to Singapore with my husband in 2019, stayed for four years, and most recently relocated with him and our daughter to Dublin, Ireland.
