Connecting the dots of my UX journey…
The bridge between business and design inspired my transition into research, shaping me into a detail-oriented and empathetic thinker.
Starting my career in the fast-growing cybersecurity industry,
I adventurously explored the intersection of business and design in tech.
My interdisciplinary background and passion led me to MS HCDE @UW,
where I have been focused on exploring accessibility and healthcare.
