I'm a User Experience Designer with interest in mobile apps, usability testing, responsive web design, and eCommerce. I strive to develop innovative, simple and effective features along with optimizing current products based on customers' needs and their overall experience.

I work at FedEx as a (Non-DOT) Handler and recently at DePaul University Campus Recreation. Both jobs allow me to interact with people on different levels, such as, managers/supervisiors, clients, employees, engineers, etc. Having the ability to communicate and understand where people are coming from, brings a people-oriented but multi-perspective skills to my background.

In June 2014, completed my Masters of Science in Human-Computer Interaction at DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois. Last summer, I worked as a Intern-Mobile App Designer for Orbitz Worldwide. The main focus was to reskin and implement new features for iOS 7 and Android. I recieved my Bachelors of Science in Software Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Flordia. During my last summer at Embry-Riddle, I was selected to be an intern at ESPN Inc. in Bristol, Connecticut. This internship experience introduced me to the idea of user-centered design, therefore, I chose to further my education in this field.
