Passionate about merging technology and human interaction
Passionate about merging technology and human interaction, I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Media Studies, Design and Interaction from UC San Diego. Currently pursuing a Master's in Emerging Media Studies at Boston University, I aim to deepen my understanding of interactive software and user experience design. My experience includes roles as a UX Designer and Research Assistant at BU Spark! and Boston University, respectively. I've also interned at Smart Twigs and Itemize, where I honed my skills in market research and UX design. As an Entertainment Coordinator for The Undergraduate Communication Society at UC San Diego, I organized seminars and provided academic advising. My diverse experiences have equipped me with a strong foundation in user research, design thinking, and collaboration. I am committed to leveraging technology to create meaningful and user-centric solutions.
