What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills in product marketing and user experience.

I am a passionate Cognitive Science student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I am also pursuing a minor in Information Systems. As a Chancellor’s Honors Scholar, I have developed a strong foundation in understanding user behavior and translating complex data into actionable insights. My diverse internship experiences have equipped me with the skills to drive product marketing and growth in various sectors.

During my time as a Product & Growth Intern at Provenance Security, I successfully led discovery interviews with SOC analysts, which informed our development priorities and improved alert accuracy. My role involved creating a messaging framework that differentiated our product in the market, showcasing my ability to communicate complex analytics in a clear and impactful manner. Additionally, my internship at Spotify allowed me to hone my editorial skills, where I produced engaging content that significantly increased listener engagement.

Beyond my internships, I have taken on leadership roles in various projects, including co-authoring a research paper on multi-modal biosensing and leading a team in the development of a charity campaign that raised over $1.3 million. I am dedicated to leveraging my skills in product development and marketing to create meaningful impact in the tech industry.
