Sometimes challenges are just blessings in disguise.

I graduated with a B.S in neuroscience with an intention of becoming a physical therapist. I’ve always had an eye for detail and aesthetics but didn't commit to a career in design because the field was intimidating. After getting rejected from physical therapy school twice in row, my confidence hit rock bottom, feeling disheartened and confused of where my passion lied - the epitome of a quarter-life crisis. Thus, I chose to take a leap of faith and change careers to the design field, a shift my younger self would never have imagined making. This transition to UX/UI design has allowed me to rediscover my creative and innovative mindset I've set aside for too long.

Leveraging my healthcare background as I transition into UX design allows me to utilize empathy and collaboration effectively in my new role. My experience in healthcare has honed my ability to understand the emotional and practical challenges faced by patients and providers, enabling me to design solutions that genuinely address user needs. Additionally, my collaborative skills developed through working with diverse healthcare teams will facilitate productive partnerships with other designers, developers, product managers, and stakeholders.

As I bridge the worlds of healthcare and design, I'm excited to apply my unique skillsets and background as a UX designer. I want to continue my journey of learning and sharpening my skills to create meaningful, user-centered solutions.

On my days off, you can find my nose in a book 📖, testing new designs on my nails 💅, or shooting with my new Sony A7C camera 📸!
