User Experience Researcher & Designer
"Isn't she adorable? I'm so proud." – Testimonial from my Mom
Gamer, Adventurer, & Historian
Combining my love for Archaeology and UX has been an amazing experience. Not only does History have different forms of UX and revision, but it’s an excellent study of human patterns and culture – that way you’re designing for the entire human experience.
Creativity has always been one of my strong suits. From writing, to reading, to gaming – all these different forms have helped me in my life to become more confident in who I am. Catch me at the next Comic Con or possibly writing a novel!

I received a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology and a Master of Arts in History from Cal Poly Pomona. I studied abroad at the American College of Greece during my undergraduate, where I focused on research of pottery shards and art patterns from the Laconian region of Greece. All of these avenues gave me a unique perspective on user experience, and the ability to research into any subject.
