What I'm looking for

I am seeking entry-level roles in user research or UX where I can apply ethnographic methods, human-centered design, and cross-cultural insights in collaborative teams focused on improving human-device interaction.

I am a recent Anthropology graduate from the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, UNAM, with a specialization in Physical Anthropology and experience applying ethnographic methods to technology and user research.

I have volunteered on the REGRESA facial progression project providing logistical support for sampling events and conferences, and worked part-time in retail technology at Best Buy handling customer service and inventory management.

I bring strong teamwork, leadership, assertive communication, and customer-facing skills, plus proficiency in Microsoft Office and MacOS, C1 English, and beginning Japanese (N5); I am seeking opportunities where I can apply human-centered design and ethnographic methodologies to improve user experience.
