Me! I am in front of a rainbow gradient, and am smiling proudly at the camera. I have long brown hair and brown eyes.

As an advocate for accessibility and invisible disability awareness, I'm constantly seeking data-driven solutions that empower all users.

I'm passionate about creating engaging and intuitive user experiences rooted in human-centered design. Prioritizing in inclusivity is essential to building user-centric, accessible solutions.

I've led the redesign and research for Rocket Companies' Internal Help Center and shaped the UX for their inaugural B2B Vendor/Contractor Access Request Manager - both systems are set to be used by over 15,000 team members. Additionally, I've redesigned a volunteer management platform for the City of Dearborn, serving a community of over 125,000 residents.

Me standing to the left of my ceramic piece at my art show. The ceramic work is a 5ft tall fragmented tile wall piece, with black line work in the shape of sharks, red circles targeting their fins, and hand-written text. I am wearing a black tank top, leather pants, and a mask.

Climbing!!
This was such a magical moment.
Hiking to a glacier -
I’m the red dot!
Hike up to Grinnel glacier at Glacier National Park. There are 3 hikers on the side of snowy, sloped mountain.

Personally, I love traveling and meeting new people. I have a rad dog (see above). I am a thrill seeker who loves creativity and adventure. And I absolutely enjoy every moment :^)
