In undergrad, I discovered my passion for Critical Theory - an interdisciplinary approach that explores the human experience across philosophy, sociology, cultural anthropology, politics, and literature.

As a researcher, it challenges me to critique societal norms, power structures, and practices that perpetuate status quo and the digital experiences around us.

My north star is the firm belief in the triple bottom line and that businesses can be profitable without diminishing people or the planet.

I believe that design can help with this.

My time at CCA’s Design Strategy MBA program focused on experimenting with the art of the possible while validating what’s desirable and viable.

We were taught that systems function as they are designed - and that they can be designed to realize better futures for all.

Design thinking starts with understanding the needs and experiences of users, while talent acquisition focuses on understanding the needs and experiences of candidates.

As a recruiter, I focused on building empathy with candidates to understand how their motivations align with opportunities across the startup and enterprise ecosystems.

Along the way, I learned about the types of experiences, skills, and mindsets that helps to launch successful products.
