About

Welcome!

🎨 As a graduate student at CSULB's HXDI (Human Experience Interaction Design) program, I am excited to utilize my passion to improve accessibility in everyday tasks! My work is driven by curiosity about human behavior and design solutions that improve everyday interactions. I enjoy approaching challenges through empathy, research, and collaboration to create experiences that are both meaningful and inclusive.

🧠 I graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Psychology where I took on leadership roles in creative organizations like the. My experience in behavioral therapy and education taught me that each kid is requires different programs materials that need to be made on the spot with limited resources. Social media and community engagement highlighted building relationships, and understanding diverse perspectives.

🖥️ Wanting to expand into a career combining my interests, I pursued certifications in Data Analytics and Human Experience Design. As I continue growing, I'm excited to explore how research, creativity, and emerging technologies can come together to foster accessibility, connection, and belonging.

I would love to connect and chat!
