Hilary grew up in a small town in Northern Minnesota where she developed a profound appreciation for family and friends, nature, sports, and the arts. Her dad, unusually technologically inclined for his generation, instilled in her a curiosity for anything technical. In her undergrad at St. Olaf College she earned a B.A. in dance. She was pulled to explore the incorporation of technology in dance and dabbled in it a bit during college. Today, she continues to learn about technology in the arts and be inspired to chase her creative endeavors using new and fitting techniques of execution.
