About
I recently graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a degree in Computer Science, where I led cross-functional teams, co-directed FullyHacks 2025, and served as Web Lead for FullyBeyond 2024, our first student-run designathon.
In Summer 2025, I worked as a User Experience Researcher at LPL Financial, where I explored how user insights can meaningfully shape product and design decisions. I'll be joining LPL Financial full-time in July as a UX Researcher, continuing to grow in product thinking and user-centered design.
What excites me most about product and UX is being involved in the full journey—from understanding the problem to shaping solutions that genuinely improve user experiences. I love collaborating with diverse teams, asking the right questions, and turning insights into thoughtful, impactful products.
