I'm currently working at Booz Allen Hamilton as a UX designer and product owner. I've spent my career building design systems and exploring new ways to improve nuanced user processes. I create products that respect people's time, attention, and agency, and I treat user needs as requirements, not suggestions. My mission is to advocate for the needs and goals of the user above all else.

I went to Virginia Tech, where I majored in computer science and minored in human-computer interaction and psychology. Throughout my diverse range of coursework, I learned to design for how people actually behave, whether I'm mapping a complicated user flow, shaping a design system, or creating an accessible, inclusive interface. I leverage my technical background to bridge the gap between design and development.

Outside of work, I abuse my New York Times Games subscription and consume any media in the "thriller" genre - I like a puzzle or plot that makes me work to find the answer. My ideal day involves hitting the gym or pilates studio and cracking open a new book when I'm back home.
