Education

Bachelor of Science in Behavioral Digital Experience

Western Kentucky University // 2024

WKU didn't offer a full User Experience or Human-Computer Interaction degree when I enrolled. To be fair, though, I didn't know what UX or HCI were when I enrolled either. I was actually introduced to the discipline while teaching myself web development for a personal project. I was studying psychological sciences and had completed a handful of CS courses; it only made sense to combine those curricula with WKU's recent UX certificate into a new major.
