A graduate of the University of Pittsburgh with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Psychology, I have honed my skills in UX design through further education at Springboard and CEA CAPA Education Abroad. Currently, I am a Product Designer at Cotiviti, where I lead initiatives projected to generate significant revenue and improve client onboarding processes. My previous roles include Associate Product Designer at Hyperflyer and Aires, where I optimized user experiences and revamped client software. At involveMINT, I developed an interactive brochure that attracted additional investors and redesigned an IOS app to aid low-income communities. My early career included research in antibiotic discovery at the University of Pittsburgh. I am passionate about creating user-centric designs and advocating for accessibility and usability in all my projects.
