My journey to UX design hasn’t been linear. I started as a healthcare intern, gaining experience in various clinical departments as a physical therapist while also helping athletes achieve peak performance. Working closely with diverse and sensitive groups made me aware of individuals' unique needs, which motivated me to create solutions that have a broader impact. I realized how design can address challenges and improve lives, particularly for those who are often overlooked or underrepresented. The desire to broaden my impact from one person to many more is what drew me to user experience design.

When I’m not designing, you’ll likely find me out running or exploring new fitness activities. I love staying active and often find inspiration in the challenges and joys of movement, much like in my design work.
