About

With a diverse educational background and extensive experience in both education and design, I have transitioned from a Special Education Teacher to a skilled Product Designer. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, followed by a Master's in Education from Lesley University. I further specialized in Behavioral Intervention in Autism. My passion for design led me to acquire certifications in Responsive Web Design and JavaScript Algorithms from freeCodeCamp and Webflow University. Currently, I am a Product Designer at Trainly, focusing on enhancing user interfaces for training applications. I have also contributed as a Website Graphic Designer at Thriving Elements and a User Experience Designer at Opportunity Hack. My unique blend of skills allows me to create user-friendly and visually appealing digital experiences, drawing from my background in education and design.
