Hi there!
Welcome to my portfolio! Here’s a little bit about me.
For as long as I can remember my career choices have been steered by my foundational desire to help others and make a positive difference in the world around me. This passion is what guided me to study law and leadership with the hope of creating meaningful change through public policy. My industry experience gave me the opportunity to help others in a substantial way and although I ultimately realized this was not the path I was meant to be on I knew my values had not changed.
When I discovered the world of UX I fell in love with the opportunity it provides to creatively design in a functional, accessible, and inclusive way. In an ever evolving world that is becoming increasingly defined by technology it is more important now than ever to ensure that all people have equitable access to the content we place online.
When I’m not designing, you can find me…
In a bookstore
I love to read and find myself in magical new worlds. I grew up tearing through new books and my favorite day at school was the scholastic book fair. But as I grew up time began to slip away as I took on more responsibilities and prepared for college, leaving little room in my life for books. After graduating I rediscovered my joy in reading and haven’t looked back since. But just between us, sometimes I find myself buying books more often than reading them!
In a new city
Traveling is my greatest passion and I’m very privileged to have experienced so many different cities, countries, and cultures. The world is such a vast, beautiful place with so much wonder and I hope to explore as much of it as I possibly can. So far my favorite place to have visited is Scotland because of how magical it felt. Some of my bucket list places to visit include Morocco, Norway, New Zealand, and Peru. Fun fact: I collect local art from the places I travel!
In the sky
My newest hobby (and objectively coolest) is learning to fly airplanes. After spending weeks researching it and debating if I should try I took a leap of faith and dove right in. I’ve been training in Cessnas which are small aircrafts with high wings and a propeller. I hope to one day earn a private pilot’s license so I can fly independently in my free time. It’s a long journey and there’s a lot to learn before becoming a licensed pilot but I’m excited for this new adventure!

49 BC, before the LIbrary of Alexandria burned down. And I would use my one day to sneak out as many books as I possibly could.

Hiking and long walks are my favorite way to destress and relax, especially when the weather cools off!
I also garden every summer and grow various peppers. At the end of the season we have so many that I pickle the jalapeños and serranos which last us until next season.

I unironically love wearing my crocs. They don’t deserve the hate they get. Justice for the crocs!

Diet coke, but I also love a good iced chai tea latte
