Creating impactful user interfaces from the ground up.
Creating impactful user interfaces from the ground up.
I graduated from Kent State University in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Digital Sciences - Digital Systems Interaction and a minor in UX Design. Since then, I have been a part of an amazing team at Independence Pet Group and now hold a Master's degree in User-Centered Design from Brandeis University.
I appreciate that I have the opportunity to design and develop accessible experiences for more inclusive user interaction. I have been passionate about technology my whole life and love that I am able to use and develop technology in my career.
