About
With a robust foundation in Information Studies from The University of Texas at Austin and a Bachelor's in Business Administration from National Taiwan Normal University, I am a dedicated UX Researcher at the National Disability Center for Student Success. My role focuses on enhancing digital accessibility, aligning with federal grant standards. Previously, I served as a Teaching Assistant for NTU's Critical Thinking and Problem Solving course, where I optimized the course website and facilitated communication among stakeholders. As an SEO Content Writer at CakeResume, I integrated SEO with UX principles to create engaging content. My experience as a Product Management Intern at Shopee involved improving seller platform usability, resulting in a significant increase in service adoption. Additionally, I contributed to marketing strategies as an Integrated Marketing Intern at Cathay Financial Holdings. My diverse experiences reflect a commitment to improving user experiences and accessibility across platforms.
