My Journey.
Growing up I was always fascinated with technology and spent most of my time obsessing over the latest and greatest products in the tech world. And so I attended UC Irvine for their incredible school of Information and Computer Science which allowed me to pursue my interest in both Software and Human Computer Interaction as an Informatics major. In June 2021 I graduated and received my Bachelors of Science in Informatics with high marks and honors.
My Degree.
My Bachelor's degree is in Informatics from UC Irvine's school of Information and Computer Sciences (ICS). Informatics brings together software engineering, human-computer interaction, and the study of information technology in organizations into a single, focused degree program. Informatics addresses the design and construction of information technology systems that will be effective in real-world situations. It includes not only building software but also examining the human, organizational, and social context where the system will be used. In other words, Informatics studies computer systems in their real-world context and how to design and build those systems so they work effectively in that context.
In My Free Time.
When I'm not designing experiences, I'm likely listening to a record! I'm an avid record collector, and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect album to add to my ever-growing collection. Don't even get me started on my love for movies, I'm a total film buff! I live for the thrill of catching a classic flick on the big screen, especially when it's on film. The texture, the sound, the smell, it's all so enchanting.
And when I'm not grooving to tunes or losing myself in a movie, you can find me exploring the city I call home. I'm a sucker for long drives down the Pacific Coast Highway and exploring the food scene. LA has some of the most incredible cuisine in the world. I'm always on the lookout for new flavors to expand my palate.
So there you have it, a little glimpse into what makes me, well, me. I'm a UX designer by day, and a record-collecting, film-loving, foodie adventurer by night.
