In my past life, I worked for the US Army as a Contract Specialist executing and awarding complex building and construction projects, medical research programs, and grants. Doing this required strong research skills, project management expertise, collaborating with others, outside the box thinking and communicating ideas effectively. This fast paced environment developed my abilities to work in cross-functional teams successfully, to ideate to find effective solutions for my customers, and experience working independently on large-scale projects.

I have always admired people who take risks and pursue their passions in life. After taking a year to stay home and raise my daughter, I reflected on my career path and decided it was time to reinvent myself. Design has been a passion and hobby of mine since I was little. I studied communication and business at university but learned to design and code on my own. As a product designer, my past experiences combined with my passion for creative thinking empowers me to shape innovative solutions for both user and business goals.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring nearby parks with my family, going to the beach, tossing a disc around, and watching reruns of The Office.  I’m a hard worker with a bubbly personality and curious mind. Ultimately, I value being around people and sharing experiences.
