MY STORY

🥾 A career leap from recruiting to designing. 🥾

🥾 A career leap from recruiting to designing. 🥾

A continuous quest for deeper understanding has consistently guided the significant decisions in my life's journey. Fascinated by the intricacies of human behavior, I pursued both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Psychology. With a Master's in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, I embarked on a career in HR and Tech Talent Acquisition.

Curiosity led me to explore User Experience and Interface design, tackling complex Talent Acquisition Operations challenges using design-thinking principles. As my curiosity deepened, I yearned for a career shift. Professional transitions can be daunting, yet long-distance hiking taught me the invaluable lesson that small steps lead to great leaps. Embracing this journey wholeheartedly has been immensely exhilarating.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science degree in Human-Computer Interaction at DePaul University, I am enthusiastic about the chapters ahead. Merging my passion for human psychology, and honing problem-solving abilities, I am evolving as a designer, eager to carve my own unique voice in the field.
