About Me

As an M.S. in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) student at UC Santa Cruz, I am building upon my B.A. in Psychology (cum laude) and a proven background in team leadership. Previously, at Target, I worked as a Service & Engagement Team Leader managing a team of 40 team members to drive operational performance and improve customer satisfaction. I was recognized with multiple awards, including the Store Hourly Performance Award and Employee of the Month, for my leadership and problem-solving skills. In addition to my role at Target, I’m the Content Manager for a digital personality, where I’ve helped grow total streams from 1,000 to over 350,000. I specialize in content strategy, analytics, and research to enhance audience engagement. In my free time I’m actively working on UI/UX design projects, honing my skills in user experience design and building my own websites to expand my technical expertise. Outside of work, I enjoy video editing, hiking, driving, working on cars, building computers, and calibrating monitors.
