As a usability engineer with a passion for UX research I'm fueled by the curiosity to uncover challenges and transform them into opportunities of innovation through a human-centered lens. I craft meaningful product interfaces grounded in user research and driven by data. I’m excited about applying my skills to help product teams capture data on user behaviors and interactions during the prototyping phase. By leveraging event listeners, I hope to gain deep insight into the discoverability, learnability, and usability of experiences when conducting research with users.

My journey into the UX field has been quite a fascinating one. Following my undergraduate studies in Computer Science, I gained valuable experience as a Cloud Support Engineer at Oracle America, Inc. During that time , I worked with client companies ranging from small businesses to large business. That professional chapter underscored the significance of problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, clear communication and adaptability.
Two years ago, I took a pivotal step by enrolling in the HCI graduate program at DePaul University. On track to complete this program with distinction by March 2023, I am currently working as a Graduate Assistant in Game Design for the Center of Teaching and Learning Learning at DePaul. In this role, I collaborate closely with faculty and various departments to create and implement engaging gaming experiences to enhance learning outcomes.
Beyond my academic and professional commitments, I channel my creativity into designing and developing websites for local businesses in Chicago. My free time is filled with gaming, song-writing, boxing, drinking tea, and listening to music.
Teamed up with fellow colleagues to develop a tabletop board game specifically tailored for the Study Abroad Program at DePaul University. This game aims to enhance students' preparedness for international trips by fostering collaboration. Players collectively manage their wellness meter, navigating through a variety of group events, personal and unexpected challenges. Excitingly, the game is now available for purchase on Game Crafter, extending its reach to the wider public. Inside Higher Ed published an article on the game.
