My story

I was born in Lima, Peru and moved to California, USA in 2001.

While living in the Bay Area, I explored careers in writing, photography, game design, and graphic design. The moment I realized I wanted to get into a design-related field was when I started creating and selling products for users in an online game. The internet became my teacher as I learned to create 3D model textures to create products, and write HTML and CSS to create product pages. However, it wasn't until I moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2015 that I learned about User Experience (UX) Design. Since starting my UX career in 2017, I have worked with a variety of organizations ranging from start-ups to government agencies.

My love for research led me to a job in the healthcare field, where I had the opportunity to build a UX research practice from scratch and train a team. I went on to work with a couple federal agencies, where I got to do research that helped improve internal government processes and software. I currently work as part of a consultancy where I work with clients from varying industries, including education and healthcare.

In my free time, I serve on the ResearchOps Community board to support the global research operations community, mentor early-career researchers, and run Techqueria’s UX Cafecito—a weekly meetup that brings together the Latine UX community.
