As a 3rd-year at the University of Washington, I feel increasingly equipped to navigate the complexities of the user experience field. I am fascinated by its capacity to create a connection between human cognition and complex technologies.Outside the classroom, my involvement in design and community projects has given me the opportunity to thrive in a culture of collaboration, innovation, and growth. These environments have enhanced my communication skills and allowed me to glean wisdom from peers and professionals alike. My experience in managing outreach events and fundraisers for various social causes has proven my ability to communicate with diverse people in professional and community settings.
