Here are places I have travelled to present my research ✈️ 🌍. I love attending conferences. You can learn about the latest UXR practices and tools and showcase your communication skills!
What got you into UXR?
As an avid player of the role-playing game Maplestory, I couldn't help but notice how the tiniest tweaks to the virtual world profoundly impacted my emotions and behaviour. For example, a simple colour change in my favourite avatar's sword made me happy for a month! The game motivated me to pursue psychology and HCI to understand why and how such technological changes impact people. Along the way, I developed another strong passion – promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in my research.
What are your strenghts?
My strength includes storytelling. Having taught 5 HCI classes and given 20+ research presentations, I've honed my skill to craft engaging narratives to captivate diverse audiences. I am also an excellent team player. I enjoy empathizing with my team members and providing unwavering support to ensure our collective success.
What are your values?
I strongly believe in continuous learning and constantly seek new challenges and ways to improve. Currently, I find great joy in data visualization using R and Tableau. My other core value is curiosity. I'm eager to explore and integrate various research areas into my work to create wholesome user experiences. At the moment, I am learning about the implication of users' cultural backgrounds in shaping their experience with digital products.
