Hi, I'm Tiffany 👋

I'm a Strategic Initiatives Student Analyst at UC Berkeley Student Technology Services and a fourth year at Berkeley studying Cognitive Science and Psychology and pursuing my Certificate in Design Innovation. I'm passionate about creating data driven designs to improve people's lives. Recently, I was a UX Design Intern at UC Berkeley IT's Student Information System department, working on redesigning UC Berkeley's student and staff portal to be more accessible and intuitive for users. I was also a part of UC Berkeley's Fung Fellowship as a Health and Innovation Fellow creating innovative solutions to solve various public health problems in my community. In my free time, I enjoy creating illustrations, propagating plants, and cuddling my dog.
