A b o u t

I have over 14 years of experience working with the Federal Government as a UI designer, UX solution architect & designer, and as a Section 508-Compliance Specialist. The projects I have designed has served the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) just to name a few.

I studied and received my B.S. degree in Technical Scientific Communication (TSC) at James Madison University (JMU) and have continued my education by becoming a certified Scrum Alliance Scrum Master and CIW Web Design Specialist. My recent accomplishment is becoming certified in Human-Computer Interaction for User Experience at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
