My Journey...

Switching careers is a big step, and I’ve been building a solid foundation in tech through learning about Full Stack Web Development, which led to over a year-long internship, gaining hands-on front-end and back-end roles, along with quality testing.

Then I completed a six-month UX/UI Design Bootcamp at the University of Utah, I became a UX Product Intern at Progressive Leasing, where I gained experience in user testing and reporting results, team collaboration, design riffs, and recreating/updating Figma designs.

By combining my software development training, internship experience, quality testing knowledge, and UX/UI design skills, I’ve been able to put my learning into action fueling my passion for the tech world and reflecting my love of continuous learning and growth.
