I'm a User Experience Researcher (and UX Designer) committed to solving design problems. I worked for 5 years as a User Experience Designer in publishing and designed mobile and desktop digital news experiences. Currently, I'm a Senior UX Researcher at a startup dedicated to solving the student debt crisis. I'm also a mentor at DesignLab and have acted as a teacher's assistant at General Assembly for design. I was a UX Manager at Advance Local and a UX Architect at Hearst Newspapers. I completed my graduate degree in Information Experience Design at the Pratt Institute and hold a dual B.A. from NYU in Journalism and Urban Design.
