A little bit about me.

Before I found my way to UX, I was a biological science researcher, driven by my passion for healthcare and health equity.


What drew me to UX was the joy of finding problems worth solving—and solving them together.


I love collaborative thinking, and after being introduced to the Lean UX Canvas during my internship at Discovery (now Discovery+), I’ve become an advocate for workshops that foster alignment and creativity across teams.

Baking sourdough.


I love nothing more than a classic bean and bread combo. There can't be anything more delicious than this NYT recipe and some fresh baked sourdough.

Doing some arts and crafts.


My most recent hobby has been pottery! I've been working my way from bowl to cup, and hopefully one day I'll make a vase.
