Education

Brigham Young University (BYU Provo)

2013 - 2018

Studied psychology, photography, and eventually found graphic design. Within the design school, I discovered UX and found my calling. I love UX and making people's lives better. We make lives better by solving problems, giving people more time, and helping people do their jobs.

Online Courses & Workshops

I've taken a number of courses, sponsored by work and out of my own pocket. I invest in myself—I love learning about product management, entrepreneurship, and design. I'm teaching myself JavaScript with ChatGPT.


Some courses I've taken:

  • Product design course through Dribbble

  • Git basics through Pluralsight

  • JavaScript through YouTube

  • Portfolio & Storytelling through UX Tools

  • … and many more
