UX Assistant | San Jose State University
08/2024 - 09/2025
This role was my introduction to UX as a profession. Working directly with the Director of the School of Information at SJSU, I worked on a team of 3-4 UX Student Assistants and mentored groups of interns (8 total) each semester. I built a foundation for design and research skills under the mentorship of the Director and UX Coordinator. The most significant skill I honed was presenting findings, insights, and recommendations to leadership, as I was frequently the member of our team asked to present to stakeholders.

UX Design Intern | Fight For The First
05/2025 - 08/2025
During my graduate studies, I studied the field of advocacy. Working with the founder of a nonprofit organization dedicated to the advocacy and campaigning of libraries, librarians, and free speech, I assisted in sprucing up their website. I learned much about the potential limitations of third party web platforms and was challenged to get more creative and intentional with the elements we could manipulate.
Notable Projects: Fight For The First Accessibility Usability Testing, Website Redesign (Wireframing and UX Writing)
Projects
Product Designer | Scoop Ice Cream Truck (Concept)
10/2025 - Ongoing
Scoop started as a question I kept asking myself: why don't local food businesses have better mobile experiences? I designed a full iOS app concept for a fictional Phoenix ice cream truck from scratch, going through two rounds of critique and iteration that sharpened my eye for navigation, visual hierarchy, and the small copy decisions that make a big difference in how users feel.
