About
I studied Neuroscience and Physiology at UC San Diego, building on a lifelong interest in biology and health sciences. After graduating I moved to the Arizona desert to start my medical training at A.T. Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine. After realizing that being a physician wasn’t where I could use my skillset best, I began to build my career as a product designer.
Its been rewarding to work with organizations and people that I believe in, who are passionate about making changes to systems that have been broken for a long time.
Away from my desk, I like to play with different kinds of movement (aerial silks, yoga, dancing), and spend as much time as I can outdoors (rock climbing, hiking, trail running).
