About
I am a UX designer with a passion for healthcare UX design. Currently, I have just completed my master's program in UX design at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. Prior to this program, I worked in various research and management roles at several renowned health research institutes such as NYU School of Medicine and OSU Wexner Medical Center. I care about data-informed design, and I care about human health, human lives, and everything human. Previously, I obtained a Master of Art in Health Communications from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
