Community

Academia & Industry

My commitment to community extends beyond the workplace, as I actively engage with academic institutions, industry events, and mentorship opportunities. By collaborating with universities, I foster strong relationships between academia and industry, bridging the gap for future design and technology professionals. Through participation in career fairs, capstone projects, and mentoring, I aim to cultivate talent, provide guidance, and share knowledge.

My focus is on empowering students and young professionals by offering real-world insights, supporting their development, and creating meaningful connections that prepare them for successful careers. This involvement allows me to contribute to the growth of the next generation of innovators while promoting inclusivity, diversity, and continuous learning within the design community.

Student Project Sponsorships

I partner with universities like UTD for senior capstone engineering projects, collaborating with students to bridge the gap between academia and real-world application. Through these partnerships, I have guided teams in developing innovative solutions, leveraging emerging technologies, and refining their design and engineering skills. These collaborations have not only enriched the students’ learning experience but also contributed to meaningful, impactful projects.

Mentorships

I have mentored students and professionals both formally and informally, providing guidance at various stages of their careers. Whether through structured mentorship programs or more casual interactions at career fairs, I’ve shared insights on navigating the design industry, building strong portfolios, and honing their skills. These experiences have allowed me to support emerging talent, offering practical advice and encouragement to help them succeed in the field and even get them hired.

Speaking Engagments

I have had the privilege of speaking at my alma mater's graduation ceremonies, where I shared insights from my career journey and emphasized the importance of resilience, curiosity, and a growth mindset. It was a rewarding opportunity to inspire the next generation of graduates, encouraging them to embrace challenges and continue learning as they navigate their professional paths.

Conferences

I am actively involved in design conferences, design workshops, and tech galas, where I have engaged with industry leaders, explored emerging trends, and exchanged ideas with like-minded professionals. These events have provided invaluable opportunities to stay at the forefront of design innovation, expand my network, and continuously enhance my expertise in UX, design strategy, and technology.
