I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BA in Theology from Franciscan University in May of 2021. I worked as a 4th-grade classroom teacher after serving as a preschool teacher’s aid before I felt the call to pursue a career in UX/UI design.
I enrolled in the UX/UI program at George Washington University where I completed multiple case studies and led the website redesign of a nonprofit for both mobile and desktop platforms. I demonstrated strong leadership and collaboration skills-consistently exceeding expectations.
After graduating, I partnered with a local skincare business, leading website design, product photography, and content creation. I am currently serving as a Product Strategist for a Philadelphia-based nonprofit, where I organize sprints, maintain project momentum, lead team meetings, manage the backlog and roadmap, and proactively resolve challenges to keep projects on track. In addition to this, I am doing freelance UX/UI projects for a Philadelphia based design company.
