Community is very important to me. I spend a lot of time teaching and mentoring others and was a co-leader of the Raleigh/Durham chapter of Girl Develop It for over three years. We're a national non-profit committed to empowering women to pursue careers in software. We offer low-cost, high quality classes, career development, and general networking and support. You can see our upcoming classes and events on our meetup page. Currently I'm involved in the Women in Intel conference organizing committee, which I have served on for the past three years...
During my time as UX team lead and then UX Manager at Intel, I grew the team to four UX Designers and Researchers and we provided support for the entire UX lifecycle across the Saffron portfolio, including research, roadmap exercises, stakeholder design workshops, prototyping, and implementation with the scrum teams.
