About

While living in NYC, I led the design of UX solutions for private blockchain and AI-based global financial 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; architected a custom CMS to manage game data analytics for Billboard Hot 100; consulted for NYU Steinhardt EdTech Accelerator powered by StartEd supporting a girls in STEM product; and served as founding Creative Director for a national PR start-up firm.

Later, as I pursued my graduate degree at UT Austin in my 30's, 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. Most recently, I was contracted to lead the UX research and design of UT Austin's Texas Resilience Institute website, a new community platform for climate resilience work and tools (to be launched 2027) and currently consult for EcoAssets Environmental and AMP Engineering.​ 

I have stayed involved with community through nonprofit organizations like Rainforest Partnership and Women and Climate, with more recent involvement at DivInc, and Latinas in Tech . 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.
