Discovery

When my elementary school teacher asked me to read aloud, the words on the page looked scrambled. I was soon diagnosed with dyslexia—a challenge that sparked my mission to design accessible, uplifting experiences.

Early growth

Motivated by the need for a supportive learning environment, I transferred to a school built for students with learning differences.

There, I developed creative problem-solving strategies—skills that continue to shape how I approach design today.

Building foundations

After returning to public school, I immersed myself in academics, leadership, and public speaking. Outside the classroom, I began taking on freelance projects—designing book covers, presentation decks, and graphics—which deepened my passion for creativity.

Working at the Apple Store during my senior year further strengthened my focus on customer-centered experiences and thoughtful technology.

Shaping my craft

I graduated summa cum laude from Rochester Institute of Technology, majoring in New Media Design—an interdisciplinary program spanning UX, UI, visual, motion, 3D, and product design.

Along the way, I interned at Yext designing websites for Fortune 500 clients and worked at the RIT MAGIC Center on a year-long project reimagining a B2B sales prospecting platform.

Rocket Money

I spent over four years at Rocket Money, joining as one of the early designers and contributing to the product’s growth into a platform used by millions to manage their finances. My work spanned the mobile and web apps, as well as new product launches.

During that time, Truebill was acquired by Rocket Companies for $1.2B and became Rocket Money.

Citizen Health

Today I’m a Senior Product Designer crafting AI-powered tools that support families navigating complex health conditions. By transforming fragmented medical information into clear, actionable insights, we aim to give patients and caregivers the confidence to advocate for their health.
