My expertise lies in three key areas:

1. User interviews

2. Communication

3. Usability Testing

By conducting user interviews, I gain deep insights into user needs, enabling me to create impactful and user-centered products. I excel in collaborating with cross-functional teams, presenting insights in a concise manner that resonates with stakeholders.

Additionally, I specialize in usability testing, conducting rigorous evaluations to identify areas of improvement and enhance the user experience. Through systematic observation and thematical analysis, I uncover usability issues, iterate on designs, and create intuitive and efficient interactions.

My experience as a Human Systems Integration Practitioner for the Navy has sharpened my skills in usability testing, heuristic evaluations, and prototyping. It has instilled in me a deep appreciation for iterative design and user feedback in creating exceptional experiences. I enjoy learning new things and connecting with people across a range of industries.

Thanks for asking!

Outside of human-centered work, I have many interests that keep me busy. For one, I absolutely love cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. Every week, I try to cook a new cuisine or perfect a previous dish I made. Some of my favorite dishes to make include Carbonara, Bun Bo Hue, Chicken Tikka Masala, and more!

Fitness and health are central focuses in my life, and I enjoy rock climbing, combat sports, and obstacle course races like the Spartan Race. Recently, I've been exploring more holistic approaches to health and fitness, focusing on understanding my body and working on my overall health instead of just lifting heavy weights. This has been especially important to me as I've struggled with knee issues in the past and want to avoid physical therapy.

As a curious person, I also love to travel to new places and learn new things. I'm always on the lookout for smart ways to travel and enjoy travel rewards hacking. Additionally, I'm constantly seeking out new activities and hobbies to try out. One day, I might be interested in chess, and the next day, I might be figuring out how to make kimchi.
