I'm graduating from UC Irvine with a Bachelor’s degree in Human-Computer Interaction in June. Currently I'm the only designer in a team of data science engineers and business analysts at a medical startup. I'm working part-time as an intern on product design and front-end to create a clinical trial searching product for breast cancer patients.
I'm looking to work full-time in Product Design, UX Design and UX Research.

Think through the essence of the problem and create alternatives. Communicate with teammates and respect the collective design decisions. It's also important to acknowledge how much work I’m throwing to the developers.
