About Me
Crystal is a software developer and consultant at Slalom, a co-organizer of the Strange Loop Conference, and a diversity in tech and business advocate. As a Detroit Public Schools graduate, Crystal is passionate about equal access to education at all levels. She started her career in teaching in St. Louis, Missouri as a 2010 Teach For America Corps Member and taught middle school math in St. Louis Public Schools for four years. After her time in the classroom, she wanted to explore a career that would allow her to bring together her love for creativity, science, and community — technology was just that! Crystal is a lifetime learner and is currently learning photography, graphic design, and all things tech, while fighting the patriarchy one key stroke at a time. She is the founder and Creative Director of the Untitled Project, a photo project that blasts through the stereotype of “tech types” to show technologists for who they are…unique, yet everyday people.
