After years of discussion and months of meticulous planning, I’m currently taking a yearlong career break with my husband to live out our longtime dream of traveling around the world! We plan to travel through ~40 countries across all 7 continents!
In my typical life, I drive value by building stellar products that users love. Most recently, I designed experiences for over 2.8 million learners at Corporate Finance Institute, the #1 rated online provider of finance education. Before that, I developed new B2B/B2C features and product enhancements for EnterpriseAlumni, which powers the alumni networks of the world’s largest organizations.
I’ll be ready to dive back into human-centered design in Fall 2026. Until then, explore a few of my recent projects, learn more about me, and keep in touch!
