About

I began my career designing surgical and patient education tools at a robotic surgery lab in Buffalo, NY. Since then, I've designed user-friendly software experiences at medical institutions like Johns Hopkins Technology Ventures and IBM Watson Health.

After obtaining my MBA and MA in Design Leadership in 2022, I've continued my career at IBM Security, leveraging research and agile methods to create enterprise SaaS experiences customers crave.
