I'm currently the sole UX Researcher on CIBC's Enterprise Innovation team, a small yet mighty interdisciplinary team of innovation strategists, designers, and researchers focused on articulating business challenges and arriving at solutions through a collaborative design thinking approach. We work in an agile manner, supporting businesses via dedicated sprints, workshops, and townhall activities that inspire a people-first mindset while moving fast, and getting sh*t done.
Nice to meet ya!
*I'm a creative problem solver who cultivates curiosity, embraces diversity, and challenges the status quo, to craft enjoyable and useful experiences!
Some fun things I've been up to recently:
🏆 In 2021 I won an award at the first hackathon I’ve ever attended. To date, I've now mentored for 5 hackathons, with 2 of those having mentored teams that won awards.
🎮 I’m ranked in the top 1000 TFT players in North America.
🕺 I danced with Unity Dance Co. from September 2019 to January 2020.
A little more about me
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a super curious person. This drive for wanting to learn more is one of the main reasons I got interested in the world of UX. I love learning about people; the way they work, live, play, and interact with the things in their everyday lives. This curiosity of wanting to know “what makes someone tick”, and never being afraid to ask why, is what sparked my interest specifically in UX research. Through my work experience I’m also learning what it means to advocate for UXR, and what it takes to help build a team that understands the necessity of research, and is confident in their ability to conduct, interpret, and synthesize UXR to produce data-driven design decisions. Everyday I get to enjoy this process of learning, unlearning, and relearning, and it’s helped shape me into the person I am today!
