About me

With a background in psychology, sociology, and behavioral health, I have always been drawn to work that centers people—understanding the complex challenges they face and designing interventions that create meaningful change. My research experience spans human behavior, psychology, food, and nutrition, equipping me with a diverse set of research methodologies and the ability to approach problems from multiple perspectives.

Working in operations strengthened my ability to ask “why?”—to dig deeper and uncover the root causes of complex issues. This systems-level thinking helped me recognize that solutions must be both human-centered and structurally viable but that the most impactful answers may not always be immediately apparent.

A deep understanding of policy, regulation, and economics is a critical foundation for strategic problem-solving to shape better futures, which is why I am pursuing a Master of Public Administration alongside my Master of Design. Effective design solutions must be grounded in the realities of the systems they seek to improve.

I am driven to use my interdisciplinary background, along with my growing expertise in design research, visual communication, and systems thinking, to tackle the pressing challenges facing society today. I believe that design has the power to reshape how people interact with public/private services and the systems that shape their lives, making them more accessible, intuitive, and equitable.
