Passion Projects

Coaching

I graduated from Martha Beck’s Wayfinder Life Coach Training program in August of 2023 and am officially certified as a coach through her Level 2 ICF-accredited program. I love helping people get in touch with their own inner voice to discover their purpose, show up as their authentic selves, and reach their full potential!

Volunteering

Voters Not Politicians

I analyzed the Voters Not Politicians website and made recommendations to improve the design, based on usability best practices. The ballot initiative went on to pass in Michigan!

Design for the Homeless

I volunteered with the Design for the Homeless project. A former coworker and I interviewed the clients and staff of the NOAH Project in Detroit (Networking, Organizing, and Advocating for the Homeless) during the field research phase of the project.

Mental Health

I am passionate about mental health issues and once gave a lightning talk about mindfulness:
