So what's my story?
Well...
I've been a pharmacy technician, a restaurant server, and a financial consultant. What's the common denominator amongst these seemingly unrelated occupations?
People!
ranging from patients to customers to clients.
Now I'm a designer, a researcher, an empathizer, a learner.
I still have a focus on people, but in this case, they're called users.
I believe in getting to the root of the problem that people face and developing a solution to solve, well, just that!
While my journey to becoming a designer has had its twists and turns, I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and dive deeper into the industry and continue to make a difference for others.
Some other things about me...
I love coffee
As long as I can help it, I have a cup of coffee every morning, alternating between brewing it myself with my espresso machine and going for a quicker option and making instant coffee. When I'm feeling extra indulgent, I'll make a quick trip to Starbucks or a local coffee shop.

I'm a cat mom
After cat-sitting and fostering many cats, I finally became a cat mom in January 2024 when I adopted my fur baby named Blue. He's the definition of a scaredy cat in the presence of strangers, but otherwise, he's a happy and talkative little guy who will give you tons of head butts and purr like the lawnmower you didn't know you had.

I enjoy traveling
Not only does traveling provide an escape from everyday life for me, but it also provides me the experience to just experience life somewhere else from different places, different weather, different foods, etc. A goal of mine every year is to visit a place I've never been before.

I'm constantly listening to music
From when I first get out of bed in the morning to getting ready for bed at night, I listen to a lot of music throughout the day. My top genres are definitely Pop and EDM, but I've also gotten more into R&B lately. A new goal of mine is to go to more concerts where I can sing along the whole night.
