Empathetic school psychologist transitioning into UX research and design.
What I'm looking for
I am an empathetic, analytical, and solutions-driven professional with over 7 years of experience as a school psychologist. Currently, I am actively building my technical skills in UX research and design, focusing on accessibility and creating inclusive, human-centered technology. My passion lies in improving digital experiences by combining behavioral insights with thoughtful design and responsive support.
In my role as a UX Researcher and Designer Trainee, I am completing hands-on coursework in UX design, user flows, and wireframing tools such as Figma and Adobe XD. I collaborate on mock redesigns of educational platforms with accessibility in mind, developing customer service and tech troubleshooting skills aligned with entry-level IT support roles. My experience as a school psychologist has equipped me with the ability to conduct thorough evaluations and deliver actionable insights that enhance user experience.
Throughout my career, I have led cross-functional problem-solving meetings, translated complex psychological data into clear insights, and delivered tech training to improve digital tool adoption. I am committed to leveraging my background in psychology to inform service design and enhance support systems in the digital realm.
