Imagination-filled, 9-year-old me wanted to be a chef.

Psychology-focused, 13-year-old me dreamt of working as a psychiatrist.

Globally minded, 18-year-old me even toyed with the idea of international diplomacy and non-profit leadership.

 

Upon graduation from university as a double language major with a minor in business, I was curious how the unique pieces of my skill set in foreign languages, communication, and creative thinking would fit into the puzzle of my career path.

 

… and then I discovered UX design!

 

It finally felt like all of the ingredients were coming together: a true outlet to leverage my passion for people, curiosity for the human experience, and drive to make a real difference. 

 

While my ideal job title has varied greatly over the years, my desire to make genuine connections with others and find creative solutions to our pain points – whether big or small – has remained steadfast.

 

In the words of Lyndon B. Johnson, “If you’re not listening, you’re not learning,” and I’m pleased to be working in a field that allows me to listen and learn from others so thoughtfully.
