Bio
As a former psychology lab researcher and lifelong learner, I like to observe, think critically, and chase my curiosity down the rabbit hole.
After doing psych research for UC Berkeley and Yale, I wandered around law firms for a bit before stumbling upon the UX field. As a UX professional, my work has helped Fortune 100 companies, startups, and small businesses. My most recent work has improved innovative healthcare and education technology products.
I believe in using technology to make lives better and I love using data to serve the greater good.
