About: Grounded in human-centered design, product innovation, and robust research, I champion the importance of meaningful insights in every project. With a creative background, I found my calling in UX design, driven by a desire to solve everyday challenges. I aim to bring positive change and innovate solutions that make a difference. Serving on the User-Experience Student Association, UXSA, board and participating in the UNT Professional Leadership Program, I am committed to fostering excellence and collaboration while delivering outstanding user experiences.

What makes me curious? I am driven by a relentless curiosity in human behavior and expression, and I believe that anything is possible. This fascination propels me towards envisioning and crafting better futures through design and innovation, seeking to contribute meaningfully to larger ideas and possibilities.
