I started my career as a journalist, biking around NYC looking for good stories. I learned how to follow my curiosity to interesting places, how to run interviews that reveal new ideas, and how to communicate with all kinds of people – skills that are essential to my UX practice today.

Most recently, I completed a Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie-Mellon University. I’m also a volunteer with the U.S. Digital Corps, where I provide UX research and design expertise.

When I’m not working, I can usually be found…

⛺️ Camping and hiking

🪩 Going out dancing

📖 Reading fiction

🤳 Facetiming my friends

🐾 Hanging out with my dog Xena
