"There is no substitute for personally watching and listening to real people." - Larry Page, Founder, Google"

I am a passionate UXer with experience in front-end web development (CSS/Javascript/React.js). I am interested in all facets of UX and UI and want to continue to learn everything.. forever, but especially all aspects and methods of research.

I graduated from the Bloom Institute of Technology with a focus on Full Stack Web Development before realizing that UI/UX is where I really needed and wanted to be.

My dream is to impact the future whether that be environmentally, or using human-centric design.

I have an incessant hunger for constantly advancing my UI/UX knowledge while prioritizing accessibility. I enjoy UI but I believe my strengths lie in research.

I’m not ashamed to say my interest in technology was peaked in the early 2000’s when I picked up my first HTML/CSS for Dummies book so I could make my friends Myspace layouts (and my own) stand out -- a little sneak peak into brand identity before I ever knew what those words meant.

When I’m not developing, my interests range from psychology, writing, cats, film, music, queer advocacy, animals and all forms of art and literature/poetry to caffeine.

I have aspirations to pursue a lifelong dream of a Bachelors in Psychology. After being a barista off and on for 8 years I find that my empathy for people, diversity, and inclusivity for all human beings has and only will continue to magnify. Although these skill sets are not tech oriented, I have no doubt that they are directly transferable.

There is no greater motivating factor in my life than fostering connection and warmth between all different types of people (animals, too.) I believe there is no denying that the internet is a central focus in making this happen. I hope as I expand my technical knowledge I can play a part in bridging this gap as a queer, woman of color. It’s riveting to be a part of an industry where ones hunger for knowledge can be endlessly satiated with a thousand ways to expand your skill set at any given moment.
