I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh. I've obtained a Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA) Degree majoring in Interactive Web Management (IWM). I have had many opportunities in the business field and always looking onto the next best thing. I started my journey as a finance major because of my strong desire to be successful with a secure outlook on the future. During my time at Northwestern Mutual - Milwaukee I felt my background of creativity was going to waste and couldn't stand to potentially loose that passion for design. I learned that doing something you are truly passionate about will enable the possibility of never "working" a day again. Why the transition to user experience? I have always enjoyed engaging both the creative and business analytical parts of my brain. For a long time, the first 3 and half years of my college career, I didn’t know how to combine the two into a career. Being in The College of Business at The University of Oshkosh, I knew the high reward of proceeding with the overall business background was important to fulfill that comfort of potential possibilities. Finding UX Design was the perfect mix of the two for me. My desire for bettering myself in a competent way has not gone away and I intend to leverage my prior experience as a business professional to bring a level of vision and attention to detail that’s critical to making intuitive user experiences.
