I’m currently a User Researcher at Peloton — I get to work on cool hardware and software built around the best user experience possible. In the past I worked at Meta working on Facebook advertisements, and was previously at Google.
I also spend some time talking to career-changers (like myself!) and offering as much help as I can. Paying it forward is 100% necessary. If you have any questions, please reach out. I reached out to more experienced UX professionals and it helped immensely. Hang in there!
