what's led me to here

When I was younger, I wanted to be a lot of things. I was extremely passionate about wanting to be Hannah Montana but that obviously didn't work out (only because I'm not blonde ofc). As I grew up, I was drawn to the medical field, but I realized it wasn't for me because it didn't feel creative. I discovered UX during my quarter-life crisis, and it felt like all the pieces fell into place.

I attended the University of Michigan to study information science specializing in UX research and design.

In the summer of 2025 I landed an internship at Acorns, my internship got extended not one, not twice, but three times! I also worked as the sole product designer at Prime Matter Labs while still in school.

Outside of design, I'm co-opening a restaurant in Fargo with my family.

Now that I'm graduated, I'm looking for roles that push me somewhere new. I've never been someone who waits until conditions are perfect.
