  Springboard

  Dec 2020 - Nov 2021

  UI/UX Boot Camp UNH via Springboard

  In the course of a year while working full time and helping raise my young children, I completed the UI/UX Design Boot Camp from UNH via Springboard. Essentially learning new skills and knowledge of industry best practices, I honed my research skills and gained familiarity with tools such as Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD. Comfortable with research, ideation, wireframing and prototyping; I feel as though i have been launched into an incredible new creative platform where my existing leadership skills and team building aptitude can shine.
