About

With a robust foundation in architecture and a Master’s degree in User Experience and Interaction Design from Thomas Jefferson University, I have honed my skills in creating user-centric design solutions. Currently, I serve as the Co-lead UI/UX Product Manager at Tech Fleet, where I collaborate with cross-functional teams in an Agile environment to enhance community safety through technology. My role involves leading sprint planning and retrospectives to ensure project efficiency and alignment with organizational goals. Previously, I gained valuable IT support and user experience research experience at Thomas Jefferson University, enhancing my problem-solving and communication skills. At Anavrin Designs, I led user research and design initiatives, creating wireframes and prototypes to improve user engagement. My experience at AstuteAcres in India further solidified my ability to translate client needs into functional designs, managing projects from concept to completion. I am passionate about leveraging design to create impactful user experiences.
