I direct the design and research strategy on contracts for government clients, mentor designers, and foster relationships across program departments. 
The roots of my tech career stay grounded in optimizing digital services to meet diverse customer and employee needs.
Offline, you can find me coaching BIPOC women on career growth, reaching my FIT goals, boosting my financial literacy, practicing my watercoloring, and exploring my current locale.
