Story

I came to UX from teaching* and academia** back in 2015 during the heady days of tech boot-camps.

These days, my team and I are driving the IBM Data Protection portfolio's transition to a human-centered, data-driven, and agile-structured future.
* teaching English and cultural adjustment to non-English speaking refugees
** focused in ethnography, social psychology, and inter-sectional politics
