Currently I am a Sr. UX designer at PayPal focusing on the new bill pay feature as well as undertaking many other ongoing projects.

In my job and in life I am driven by my (almost) constant desire to make things better and more convenient for the users and people around me.

I have many favorite quotes and here is one I try to live by—"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children."
