About Me

I’m a first-generation American, born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, now based in New Jersey, with a lifelong curiosity about how systems work and how they can work better for people, shaped by firsthand experience with systems, like private healthcare, that aren’t always designed for everyone.

I studied computer science in college and found myself drawn to both the structure of development and the flexibility of design. Over time, I realized I wasn’t interested in tech for tech's sake. I was drawn to projects that intersected with care, communication, and access.

I’ve worked on digital tools in healthcare and behavioral health, most recently at a remote patient monitoring company where I provided technical support, maintained systems, and helped bridge gaps between clinicians, platforms, and patients. I also designed and launched a public-facing DBT flashcards website that blends accessibility, visual clarity, and mental health education into one project.

Outside of tech, I’ve always had a strong visual side. I make expressive illustrations, digital tools with hand-drawn elements, and small sculptural pieces that explore mental health themes. Art helps me make systems feel warmer and more personal.

As of 2026, I'm working as a peer support specialist in supportive housing, integrating lived experience, trauma-informed care, and systems thinking into day-to-day practice. I'm increasingly interested in community informatics, specifically how technology, data, and documentation shape real support on the ground and how tools can better reflect the realities of people navigating care systems. Whether I'm debugging a platform, updating a resource list, or illustrating a skill, I care most about building systems that help people feel understood, supported, and seen.
