I am a recent graduate from the University of Tennessee. With skills in Object Oriented Programming, I hope to pursue a career in human-computer interaction. I am proficient in Figma and am willing to learn and adapt to achieve excellence in projects. I have experience with UX research and usability testing and enjoy prototyping ideas.

In my free time, I enjoy the outdoors, whether that be hiking, camping, snow/watersports, and more. I also enjoy reading and plan to read 30 books in 2023 for leisure. Outside of that, I play video games and have a hobby of building keyboards!

My thoughts on design:

I am passionate about creating interactive and thoughtful human experiences because a good design for me might not be a good design for you. After all, these problems involve people. They are complex and not everyone has the same building blocks. These dilemmas make me tick. I am eager to find and craft useful and innovative ways to connect with one another.
