About Me
I went to school at the University of Northern Iowa where I received degrees in both Computer Science and Global Marketing finishing in the top 10% for user experience.
I love being able to tell a story to users through a brand experience. It’s unique hybrid allows me to do both creative and programming work.
Throughout my undergrad I had the opportunity to be a User Experience Intern with Principal Financial Group along with developing a legal website from start to finish. After graduation I accepted a position in Charlotte, NC with Keyot Consulting where I worked for almost a year a scrum master consultant. Then, I accepted a position with Ally Financial, where I have been a visual designer for several of there teams while also completing a studio rotation.
When I am not at work I am an avid tennis player, always investigating a new recipe, and still exploring what North Carolina has to offer.
I am actively seeking user experience opportunities where I can flourish my creativity and programming abilities.
