Favorite part about your job:
Getting to be the advocate for our users. When you work closely on a tech product, it can be hard to picture the individuals on the other end of the screen, and what it is they need. I really love that I'm the person at my company who is tasked with having those people top-of-mind, empathizing with them and helping our team understand them better.
What motivates you every day?
I started at Noom as an intern after college, and a few months later became a full time UX Researcher. For the next few years, I worked hard to constantly improve. It paid off a few months ago, when I was promoted to Head of Department. That being said, what motivates me is the desire to prove myself in my new leadership role. Since I've been entrusted with of responsibility at a young age, I want to show that I am not only capable of handling it, but will excel and deliver high quality work every time. When I used to do my homework as a kid, my mom always told me to take pride in anything I put my name on, and I am still motivated by that when I get into work each day.
