My background in Cognitive Science fueled my interest in understanding the part that technology plays in our lives and how experiences shape our brains. I became fascinated in how my understanding of human cognition and language can be adapted into the technology we use everyday. I decided to make a career shift and began studies at the University of Washington, Master of Human-Computer Interaction + Design program.

​

My top priority in design is making decisions that are intentional and evidence based. I want to integrate empathy, design thinking and technology to solve human problems.

In my spare time, I can be found hiking up mountains with my dog, indulging in my love of photography, bouldering at the local gym, and exploring new food.
