My experience interacting with customers/patients and my degree in health studies has shaped me into the designer that I am today, which is analytical and logical. But also empathetic and human-centered. All of these together helps inform the design decisions that I make. 

With my background in health, I’m able to take those skills that I gained from research and apply it to a different field. Instead of researching inanimate objects, I’m able to research using users and their experiences/thoughts. I love talking to users and understanding their perspectives. I am a naturally curious person so I will pick at the user’s brain until I am able to answer the most important question of why.
