A little on who I am and what I do
I’m a UX researcher and designer focused on making digital products simple, clear, and genuinely useful for the people who rely on them. I work across research, design, and implementation to turn real user needs and messy problem spaces into practical, usable solutions. Currently, I serve as a Digital Accessibility Student Assistant (DASA) at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, where I help remediate course content to meet accessibility standards and improve learning experiences for all students. I care deeply about evidence-backed design and creating systems people can depend on, especially in public-facing or impact-driven spaces.
I’m especially drawn to work that improves access to information, reduces friction in critical workflows, and solves problems that affect real communities and not just dashboards and screens. I learn quickly, notice details others often miss, and enjoy building things that make everyday digital experiences easier, fairer, and more human.

I Cook quite a bit too!
I find cooking a bit therapeutic. I spend a lot of time making the finishing touches to my food - not only does the food I cook have to just be savory - but it has to be presentable as well!
