About Me

Welcome to my portfolio! I'm an emerging UX Researcher pursuing a Master of Science in Applied Psychology at The University of Southern California (USC) with a concentration in consumer psychology and UX Research. I'm passionate about advocating for users and uncovering insights that help shape products that are intuitive, usable, and grounded in human behavior, cognition, and limitations.

 

I'm particularly interested in human factors and the role of UX research in designing systems that prioritize usability, safety, and users' well-being. My master's treatise on usability in modern vehicle touchscreen interfaces reflects my interest in how interface design and interaction patterns influence cognitive load, performance, and decision-making in safety-critical contexts.

 

I enjoy the iterative process of conducting research, developing prototypes, and refining designs to better understand user needs and translate those insights into impactful solutions. I'm especially motivated by the challenge of balancing technological innovation with intuitive and human-centered design.

Outside of research, I'm passionate about media, wellness, and art, along with traveling, reading, golfing, and snowboarding!
