Overview
I want to collaborate on a team that empowers me to improve lives through business and design impact, multiplied by how I lead and am led (ethically). I bring user experience, data storytelling, and information architecture skills to solve meaningful and complex problems.
I try to apply my enterprise organizational skills with authenticity, kindness, and passion. I'm energized by empathizing with clients. I prefer to make data-driven decisions, but am comfortable moving ahead with ambiguity to deliver.

Education
My journalism degree enabled me to take a variety of courses for knowing a little about a lot of things. Specializing in advertising fed my curiosity about visual design, business, and persuasive writing.
I'd agonized over whether to take Engineering instead of Journalism. I began taking Computer Science classes. Technology plus communication appealed to IBM recruiting for technical communicators.
After a personal health crisis and longing for more connection with clients, I investigated becoming a radiologist. Instead, I pursued an informatics degree and a career in Watson Health.
