Ser bilingüe es mi super poder. Mi identidad como latina y caribeña fortalecen mis capacidades para empatizar con diversas audiencias. Siento una gran curiosidad por explorar los motivos de las personas en su toma de decisiones considerando factores como el lenguaje, identidad, cultura, experiencias de vida y conexiones con sus respectivas comunidades.


I prioritize user-centricity, delivering solutions that meet user needs and emotionally resonate with them. My proven track record demonstrates a deep understanding of users' needs and business growth. My involvement in informing product roadmaps and prioritizing features underscores my commitment to contributing to the design process and the product's overall success. I thrive in researching and designing inclusively, considering accessibility to ensure a diverse range of users can engage seamlessly with the product. I firmly believe that feedback is a gift, both in giving and receiving. I actively contribute thoughtful feedback to others when needed, and I am open to receiving feedback as an opportunity for growth. Currently, I am the UX researcher in the Digital Products team at Planned Parenthood Federation of America.


Beyond design, you'll find me capturing moments through analog photos, pouring creativity into home-cooked meals, expressing myself through doodles, collecting stickers, having picnics at Prospect Park, or watching movies with my cat Renato.
