I graduated with a B.S in neuroscience with an intention of becoming a physical therapist. After working in a hospital for 3.5 years, I chose to take a leap of faith and change careers to a field I never thought I would see myself in - UX/UI design. This transition 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 developers, product managers, and other designers.

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.
