// the lore
B.A. Interdisciplinary Computing, specialization in UX design, UC San Diego
I care a lot about open access, mutual aid, and the idea that good design is a form of care — especially in healthcare and higher education where wonky inaccessible UX and UI has real consequences for real people.
Currently an executive assistant to UCLA scientists researching some of the rarest women's health conditions & diseases in the neonate. When I'm not managing 4 different NIH-funded labs and the NICUs, I'm a full-stack dev and UX designer dedicated to mutual aid, advocacy work, sidequests and researching ethical use cases for AI for good causes such as women's health. :)
Previously at Cal State Fullerton Urban Learning & Special Education Department, UC San Diego Library & The Hub Basic Needs Center.
