I have a passion for positively impacting the lives of others. That passion has lead me to pursue a career in Human Factors and Human Centered Design. My current experience ranges from problem solving internationally through conducting a Women's Health and Education Human Centered Design Project in Ghana, Africa; to studying, volunteering, and exploring while immersed in South American culture in Lima, Peru; to an industry experience as an intern for 3 different companies on their discovery and product development teams; to creating my own Technical Elective Class at Michigan Tech researching what it is like to live with an injury or disability in a snowy climate; to my current position with Pacific Science and Engineering as a Human Factors Engineer. I enjoy digging for the why, understanding other view points and cultures, and using the insight I find to inspire design.
