About

While living in NYC, I consulted for NYU Steinhardt EdTech Accelerator powered by StartEd focusing on a girls in STEM product; led the design of UX solutions for private blockchain and AI-based global information exchange challenges within the EY Advanced Technology Tax Lab in collaboration with world governments, academia, and industry partners; spearheaded the design of Duke Farm’s first app to improve visitor engagement; and served as founding Creative Director for a national PR start-up firm.

While engaged at UT Austin, I improved research operations at the Human-AI Interaction Lab, introduced UX and communication design to the UT-City CoLab through my work on the Austin Future Climate Report, and led market research for a product idea born from the AI in Health Lab via the NSF Innovation Corps program. I currently lead the UX research and design of the Planet Texas 2050 community platform for climate resilience work and tools (to be launched late 2026).​ I have stayed involved with community through nonprofit organizations like Rainforest Partnership and Women and Climate, with more recent involvement at DivInc, Latinas in Tech and Latinitas.

I aspire to build bridges between people and systems for improved fairness and empowerment. My approach is interdisciplinary, equity-centered, and methodical. I specialize in collaborating with cross-functional teams to create organized strategies and tangible solutions with real business value. My goal is to improve information-based experiences in partnership with stakeholders, especially marginalized or underserved populations.

When not working, you’ll find me outside with my Belgian Malinois, Adele. I enjoy hiking, personal development, global travel, and art-making. I grew up in Dove Springs, a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood in Southeast Austin that shaped my perspective and experience as a “no sabo kid” and a first-generation college graduate. I am deeply inspired by history, music, film, and performance. I believe that stories—however they’re told—have the power to connect, heal, and transform.
