About Me

Long story short...

I hold a Master’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction and am a former accessibility research lab assistant and graduate assistant at DePaul University. I am still currently involved with my research lab projects at DePaul. As a UXR, I blend my roles as methodologist and advocate, using mixed methods to center user needs, uphold ethical design, and deliver innovative, impactful solutions.

My Values

Evidence Driven Empathy

  • Balances rigorous research design with a focus on user needs, ensuring that insights are both methodologically sound and impactful.

Inclusive Representation

  • Prioritizes equity in participation by intentionally recruiting diverse and underrepresented voices to ground findings in real-world experiences, rather than assumptions.

Collaborative Problem Solving

  • Thrive in cross-functional teams, using structured research and open dialogue to align diverse perspectives toward practical, user-centered solutions.

Purposeful Growth

  • Continuously reflect and learn, refine my methods, challenge bias, and evolve my practice to deliver more impactful and responsible outcomes.

In my free time I enjoy...
