About Me

"I am an empathy-driven UX professional who seeks to understand people, and the ways I can positively impact their daily lives."

I am a senior at the University of Texas at Austin earning my Bachelor's of Science in Advertising with a minor in Russian Language and certificate in Design Strategies. My multifaceted educational pursuits provide a unique perspective to a UX/Design Strategy team.

Having dabbled throughout the UX field, my passion for user experience comes from learning new things every day. I am driven to creatively solve problems through user-centric methods and practices. I will take on any challenge or task with pride and determination!

In my personal life I am a huge nerd when it comes to music, sustainable fashion, internet culture and sports. On any given Sunday you can find me parked in front of the TV cheering on the Texans with my dog Arisha in my lap!

HOW I WORK ON A TEAM

I believe collaboration is the most essential component to success and decisions are best made with diverse perspectives involved.

I am a hard worker who will make a strong commitment reaching to a common goal.

I openly welcome criticism and feedback because I want to grow as a UX professional and improve my ability to contribute.

My contribution to a team brings enhanced effort, collaboration and execution every day.

THE COMPANY I ASPIRE TO WORK FOR

A workplace that prioritizes empathy and seeks to materially improve the lives of its consumers and employees.

A community that values people over profit.

A team of employees that trust each other to collaborate and communicate.

A company that will challenge and push their employees to become better and more empathetic professionals.
