Profile
This is me
As an advocate for technology and education, I am passionate about promoting computer science and educational opportunities to young girls all over the world. I believe in thinking outside the box in order to find solutions to everyday problems and work to empower and inspire, particularly the underprivileged. I love sharing my knowledge to expand my horizons.
I use my design experience and skills to create tailored solutions that are both innovative and efficient. I utilize cloud, mobile tech, IoT, and social media to provide education and environmental solutions in rural America and Africa. My goal is to create seamless and intuitive user experiences that solve everyday problems and increase engagement.
My passion for UX design has led me to develop apps, websites, and other digital products. Furthermore, I am dedicated to digitally bridging people using IoT and opening doors to new innovations. Through my work, I am helping to create educational initiatives for girls to study various fields and prepare for the tech-driven 21st-century world.
