Five years in clinical healthcare taught me what breaks. An M.S. in Human Computer Interaction is teaching me how to fix it. I bring clinical fluency, research rigor, and real empathy to every design challenge.
I spent five years on the clinical side of healthcare before making the leap into Human Computer Interaction. I've documented patient encounters in one of the nation's busiest emergency departments, trained patients on biologic medications and medical devices, led an EMR system migration, and conducted behavioral neuroscience research on memory and aging.
That clinical foundation gives me something most designers don't have: I've been the user. I know what it feels like to fight a clunky EMR at 3 AM during a 12 hour shift. I know the cognitive load of explaining a complex treatment plan to a scared patient. I design from that place.
I'm currently completing my M.S. in Human Computer Interaction at DePaul University in Chicago. I hold dual bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Biological Sciences (Neurobiology) from Arizona State University. Bilingual in English and Polish.
