Work Experience

Volunteer Web UX Designer — Website Optimization at Sierra Overlook Animal Rescue
February 1, 2026 - Present
Audited the full Wix site and resolved UX friction across navigation, content hierarchy, and core conversion flows including adoption, donation, and volunteer signup. Replaced hamburger menu with horizontal nav bar, redesigned homepage hero, and restructured services section from single column to two-column grid to reduce cognitive load and improve scannability. Repaired broken footer with correct contact info and active social links; fixed image cropping and button visibility issues across multiple pages. Maintained stakeholder communication, a phased project plan, and transparent reporting of platform constraints throughout the engagement.
Staff Nurse / Charge Nurse / House Supervisor at HCA Houston Healthcare Cypress; CHI St. Joseph Hospital; Rock Prairie Behavioral Health
May 1, 2016 - October 1, 2023
Worked in high-acuity clinical environments where clarity, task efficiency, and zero ambiguity are non-negotiable — experience that directly shapes how I approach designing interfaces under pressure. Supervised staff, coordinated patient workflows, and collaborated across multidisciplinary teams, building strong cross-functional communication and systems thinking.
