Growing up between cultures in Queens, NYC sparked my curiosity about how people experience the world and how thoughtful design can create more supportive and accessible systems for individuals and communities. I am a generalist designer and researcher who bridges user needs, design strategy and systems thinking to create meaningful experiences with social impact.

I studied Psychology and Information Technology at University of Massachusetts Amherst. I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Social Work at Columbia University, where I am deepening my understanding of individuals, communities, organizations, and systems to design more equitable solutions.

Outside of work and school, I love taking care of animals (feeding the neighborhood cats churus and pet sitting), traveling, and solving puzzles.
