About me
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me and what I do. I’m a Carnegie Mellon School of Design graduate who previously worked at Intuit improving the QuickBooks Online product for small business owners. I have some non-profit and startup experience as well, but I’m currently at LegalZoom designing with the mission of democratizing law and making it more accessible to all.

My hobbies
Making music
I used to be in an a cappella group, so I love singing! I also play piano and occasionally write some tunes. Fun fact: An embarrassing video of me and my sisters singing a song for our mom somehow has over 20k views on Youtube.
Exploring
I really enjoy taking long drives and being in nature, and one of my goals is to visit all of the states in the US. I also love to explore literary worlds as well. Here’s what I’ve been reading recently.
Attempting to be healthy
I try my best to stay active, whether it’s by playing soccer, hiking, running, and going on walks. I’m also interested in being a holistically healthy and self-aware human. For those who are into personality tests, I’m an enneagram 4 and INFJ who constantly spreads myself thin, so I’m trying to take care of myself by resting more :)
Get in touch
Thanks for visiting! I’m open to collaborating on fun side projects if life isn’t too busy – let me know! Please reach out, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
