I am a UX Researcher with a passion for creativity and a heart full of empathy working in the space for over 9 years. Growing up in from a small farm town in Indiana, I'm a proud first-generation college graduate with a master's degree in Human-Computer Interactions. My journey has been shaped by both triumphs and hardships, which have cultivated a deep sense of empathy and understanding for the human experience. My quest to uncover more about myself and the questions I've carried since the beginning led me to start in anthropology, seeking to understand how people think, feel, and behave. I approach every challenge with an open mind and insatiable curiosity, always striving to unearth insights that drive the creation of meaningful experiences both in my personal life and when it comes to the products I work on. When I'm not delving into user insights, I'm exploring the world, one destination at a time, and cherishing the beautiful human connections that enrich my life.

Currently, I'm based in Austin, TX creating experiences for Expedia Group. Let's explore the possibilities together, one question at a time.
