Minnesota State
Director of Professional Development
Minneapolis, MN
I bring a human-centered approach to everything I do and consider every problem I encounter—big or small—a design challenge. I'm a staunch advocate for creating and delivering delightful user experiences for humans. In my current position, I apply UX and human-centered design principles to create better service delivery for professional development.
