Dreams are an aspiration

I have always had a creative talent that couldn’t be restrained ever since I was young. It is that wild imagination that drives me to be creative with my designs, whether I am drawing up a storyboard, or sketching the wire-frame layout for a website. It comes out when I decide to take a break and write a short story, and when I feel artistic and start drawing on Illustrator.

I am a proud, graduated millennial. The technological and innovative state of Washington has always been my home, and I've lived here for as long as I can remember. In such an environment, there’s vast opportunity - more and more each year - for careers and growth in IT and design; there is also a commonality for hardship in achieving success, so much so that it’s become a stigma for competition and aggressive workmanship to predate the achievement of personal goals.

I aim to achieve success with earnest hard work, in the sense that doing what you love can make ‘hard work’ a delight, ‘challenges’ a gift, and ‘long hours’ energizing. The secret to finding that success, is in career fields and life passions… and making sure those are one and the same.

graduate and employee

I graduated University of Washington Bothell with a bachelors; majored in Interactive Media and Design and minored in Business. The skills I’ve learned have led me to develop my skills not only as a designer, but as a programmer, a project manager, and a team member. I continue to look forward in further developing my skills in design within the Information Technology work environment, building on what I've learned with Human-Centered design and User Experience design.

Since graduating, I’ve broadened my knowledge of IT by working in the IS Service Desk at Providence St. Joseph Health. My team and I took phone calls regarding technological issues from all people within the PSJH organization including doctors, analysts, administrators, directors, lab technicians, nurses, etc. My responsibilities helped me to learn more of the IT world than I could ever have as a student. My attitude towards learning and growing will never stop.

My goals in life are to...

I aim to work in a creative environment with others and create unique experiences. My personal definition of success is doing what you love and being the better for it. If you can wake up in the morning and look forward to going into work everyday, then you’ll be successful every day of your life.
