Hi there!

I’m Shari, a recent graduate from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Science (Concentration in Human Cognition and Decision) and UX Design .

I’m passionate about the intersection of business, technology, and design, and leveraging my knowledge in these fields to better understand humans on a deeper level and improve user experiences. Upon completing my undergraduate education, I plan to utilize my degree and skills in such settings with the ultimate goal of working in the field of product.

I’m currently looking for a full-time position.

In my free time…

you can find me watching a movie—anytime and anywhere. In 2024, I watched 103 movies. My most watched actor was Gary Oldman and my most watched director was Christopher Nolan (I love The Dark Knight). I’m always trying to learn a new language; I’ve recently dedicated myself to Italian. I also love to run, read, try new foods, and listen to music. Fun fact: last year, I listened to over 100,000 minutes of music.
