My undergraduate degree is from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msu.edu\/\">Michigan State University<\/a>, where I majored in Chinese and Secondary Education. Working as a teacher has not only provided me people-skills necessary for user research, but also the educational psychology which allows me me insight into design principles.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I work at Rocket as a Senior CX Researcher after Rocket Homes merged with Rocket Mortgage. I primarily focus on research, though I also utilize design in order to best communicate UX needs to our designers, developers, and product managers. Before finding my current position at Rocket Homes, I was a Senior UX Designer at Thomson Reuters. I also spent two years as an Experience Architect at Pillar Technology, now a part of Industry X.0. If you think a quirky fencer like me would mesh well with your culture, please reach out! If anything, I&#8217;d love to nerd out about UX with a fellow UXer.<\/p>\n<p>Besides gaming and design, I keep my life active. I practice graphic art and fence sabre regularly. My past experience as a barista has gifted me with a once-encyclopedic knowledge of coffee, which helps keep me running. I am passionate about people, cats, and the intersection of society and tech.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;linkedin&#8221; style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; outline_custom_color=&#8221;#d1017b&#8221; outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;#ffd033&#8243; outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;#0a0a0a&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_align=&#8221;right&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-linkedin-square&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fin%2Fgreenmeg|||&#8221;][vc_btn title=&#8221;medium&#8221; style=&#8221;outline-custom&#8221; outline_custom_color=&#8221;#d1017b&#8221; outline_custom_hover_background=&#8221;#ffd033&#8243; outline_custom_hover_text=&#8221;#0a0a0a&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; i_align=&#8221;right&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-medium&#8221; button_block=&#8221;true&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F%40greenmeg|||&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][awa_skills skills_style=&#8221;linear_text&#8221; linear_skills=&#8221;%5B%7B%22title%22%3A%22coffee%20brewing%22%2C%22number%22%3A%2270%22%2C%22line_color%22%3A%22%23d1017b%22%7D%2C%7B%22title%22%3A%22mario%20kart%22%2C%22number%22%3A%2280%22%2C%22line_color%22%3A%22%23d1017b%22%7D%2C%7B%22title%22%3A%22felinology%22%2C%22number%22%3A%2290%22%2C%22line_color%22%3A%22%23d1017b%22%7D%2C%7B%22title%22%3A%22fencing%22%2C%22number%22%3A%2260%22%2C%22line_color%22%3A%22%23d1017b%22%7D%5D&#8221; title=&#8221;very legitimate skills&#8221; text=&#8221;what do these skill bars mean?
