Having spent 18 years living outside the U.S., I bring a unique ability to consider diverse viewpoints. I’ve lived around the world, including eight years in Asia, eight years in Latin America, and several years in Europe. My international experience has instilled in me an open-mindedness and curiosity that I believe greatly enhance my ability to empathize with a wide range of users in my UX process.

I discovered UX design while pursuing a master’s degree in psychology. I instantly fell in love with the field and decided to pivot my career after meeting my first UX designer and learning about their day-to-day process. Since then, I've devoted myself fully to learning everything I can about UX design, always looking for ways to leverage my background in psychology to become a better designer. Recently, I’ve applied my skills as a Senior Experience Strategist on a federal contract, improving complex government services with a CX focus.

In my free time, I love being artistic in any way I can. You can find me making music, sketching, taking photos, reading, writing, and biking around town.
