Job title: 
Discovery UX Researcher
Department: 
Berkeley Discovery
Bio/CV: 

I earned a B.A. in History from the University of Rochester and am wrapping up a Ph.D. in Modern European Economic History here at UC Berkeley. Before coming to Berkeley Discovery, I’ve been lucky enough to work on a variety of UX projects as a consultant for Berkeley Innovative Solutions Consulting. After I complete my Ph.D. in May 2024, I plan to work full time as a UX researcher in the Bay Area. When I’m not writing or researching something, I can be found running or cycling through the East Bay hills.

I was the first in my family to go to college. As an undergraduate, I missed tons of opportunities that I didn’t even know existed. What I needed was a resource like Berkeley Discovery. Now, I’m thrilled to be helping students like me find amazing opportunities for personal and professional development.
