My story
I grew up in the small town of Ballston Lake, NY, and went on to pursue a degree in Animation & Illustration at the State University of New York at Fredonia, just off Lake Erie.
Halfway through my college career, I added a 2nd major in
Economics and really enjoyed how qualitative and quantitative methodology could be used to collect data, analyze behaviors, and improve people’s lives.
After graduating in 2017, I went on to work at a digital marketing agency where I worked as part of a team to build, audit, and improve websites for SEO, user experience, and goal conversion.
While working at the agency, I kept stumbling across articles discussing UX Design, and the more I read, the more I wanted to know. In 2018, I signed up for UX Design certification with CareerFoundry, and have been learning more ever since.
