User Experience Designer | Cognitive Systems Expert
With a strong foundation in Cognitive Systems and User Experience Design, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Systems: Brain and Behaviour from The University of British Columbia and a diploma in User Experience Design from BrainStation. My professional journey includes a significant tenure as a Supervisor at Blue Chip Cafe, where I managed store operations, led customer service teams, and handled daily financial tasks. Additionally, I gained valuable research experience as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the Psychophysics and Cognitive Neuroscience Lab, where I honed my skills in research analytics and worked with EEG and tDCS devices. My diverse background blends practical leadership with technical research expertise, making me well-equipped for dynamic roles in user experience and cognitive research fields.
