UI/UX Design Leader | Cognitive Science Grad
With a Bachelor's degree in Cognitive Science and Film from the University of California, Santa Cruz, and a UI/UX Bootcamp certification from the University of California, Berkeley, I have a strong foundation in both design and human behavior. My experience as a UI/UX Group Tutor at Baskin Engineering involved mentoring student groups through the entire design process, while my role as President of the Cognitive Science Student Association showcased my leadership and organizational skills. Additionally, I have experience in teaching and grading, having led discussion sections and graded student work at UCSC. My study abroad experience at the University of California, Davis, further broadened my perspective. I am passionate about creating meaningful user experiences and leveraging my cognitive science background to inform my design decisions. My dedication to learning and teaching has been evident throughout my academic and professional journey.
