It has been my great privilege to experience, learn and problem-solve in a range of environments and cultures: from the wild and wacky experience of a software start-up, to the extremes of Humvees in the desert and boots in the cold mud, to public schools and clinics along the Rio Grande, to financial and lifestyle services for veterans and their families, and even the design of an international professional conference. From start to finish, I am whole-heartedly hooked on UX.
