Fun fact: I made all of these hats!
My career journey
My career journey
Though I started my career in journal production, I have been lucky enough over the years to be able to follow my curiosity, first into digital content management, and from there to product management and user experience (UX) design. For the past 6 years, I have worked at a small medical education nonprofit, where I have the opportunity to wear many hats. I've developed new web features to aid orthopaedic surgeons in research and continuing medical education, as well as productivity tools to replace outdated systems for internal users. I love designing clean, simple products and features that make the user experience more enjoyable, intuitive, and helpful for all users.
