Summary
Over 13 years of experience across diverse roles, including chef work after studying art — a passion that cultivated creativity while developing practical problem-solving skills. These experiences fostered resilience, adaptability, and persistence. Seeking a new challenge to apply curiosity, analytical thinking, and attention to detail in meaningful ways. I am drawn to UX, QA, and user research because I am curious about both people and systems. I enjoy analyzing human behavior, understanding user needs, and finding ways to improve products and experiences.
Each challenge is approached as a chance to learn, bringing energy, dedication, and a strong desire to grow in this field.
