Born and raised in Berkeley, California in a multicultural home I grew up loving fresh produce, the great outdoors, and good weather.

I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2023 with a BA in Environmental and Urban Studies and a minor in Statistics. After graduation I took some much needed time to breathe, see family, and travel, then hopped into a UX Foundations course with DesignLab.

A big leap later, I moved to my current home of Honolulu, Hawai‘i! I currently work at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, study design as a student in DesignLab’s UX Academy, and spend my free time rock climbing, cooking, reading, hiking, swimming, and doing as many different crafts as I can get my hands on. I still love fresh produce, the great outdoors, and am grateful every day for the beautiful weather of Hawai‘i.
