About me.

  • In 2009, shortly after graduating from George Mason University, I launched my career in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on serving US federal agencies in and around Washington D.C.

    This role refined my problem-solving skills, enhanced my ability to collaborate effectively with stakeholders, and polished my talent for translating complex technical concepts into understandable information for non-technical audiences.

    During my tenure in this field, I noticed numerous poorly designed security products. Recognizing an opportunity to drive positive change, I decided to shift my career towards design. Over the next few months I enrolled in University of California: San Diego's User Experience Design program.

    In the summer of 2015, I relocated to New York City to embark on an internship at S&P Global. Since then, I've had the privilege of crafting user experiences for Fortune 500 companies such as Citibank, Budweiser, Morgan Stanley, EY, and more.

    My passion is deeply rooted in the art of creating impactful products through continuous learning. I firmly believe that technology should enrich our lives, and I am unwavering in my commitment to ensuring it remains a force for good.
