I’m a UX designer and researcher with a BA in Psychology, and I am presently pursuing an MS in UX at Arizona State University. My past professional experiences in HR, behavioral health, and special education have shaped my people-first, compassionate approach to design, with a focus on accessibility, diversity, and practical impact. My experience as a playtest research participant with Blizzard has also played a significant role in my career shift, providing me with firsthand knowledge of how careful user research directly influences compelling, user-centered products.

Outside of design, I'm generally found reading, tending to my carnivorous plants, playing video games, or caring for my children and pets. My hobbies play a large part in sparking my creativity, curiosity, and comprehension of how people interact with their surroundings.
