I’ve been tech obsessed since birth.
Yes, it’s true. My parents still laugh about how I preferred pretending to type on a keyboard over playing with any other toy.
By the time the first iPad launched in 2011, 10-year-old me was already campaigning relentlessly for my very own. What began as a childhood fascination soon evolved into something deeper: a genuine curiosity about how our minds work alongside technology.
I’ve always been drawn to cognitive psychology; why do people behave the way they do, how do we process information, and how do we make decisions? At UCLA, studying Cognitive Science felt like fitting together puzzle pieces I’d been collecting all my life. When I discovered user-centered design, everything clicked; it was the intersection of psychology and technology I had been searching for all along.
Now, I’m on a mission to share that same love for all-things-tech. I’m focused on making technology less intimidating and more accessible by bridging the gap between human needs and innovative solutions. My passion lies in User Research and Product Design, where I create systems and interfaces that are both functional and meaningful.

My Life Through Pictures!
When I am not working or exploring UX design, I find balance through hot yoga, both an exercise and meditation practice that helps me focus and recharge. I am also a true foodie at heart as I am passionate about cooking and exploring new foods. Additionally, I love exploring the natural beauty of the San Francisco Bay Area and cherishing moments with my friends and family!
