Path That Lead You To UX

While working in a WA State office to help minority and women owned businesses, I was asked to serve on a state-wide initiative to create an online business portal, to make it easier to do business in Washington State. It was from that exposure that my passion for continuous process improvements merged with my abilities to relate to and communicate with others, and a UX'er was born.

Your Style

I am laid back and flexible. I like to keep things light and funny. I always do my best.

Can't Live Without

My dogs bring so much happiness to my life, I can't imagine living without a pet.
