More tidbits about me

📚
I love to help professionals develop their skills
When I was a Manager of User Experience, one of my favorite parts of the job was working with my team to create their professional development plans and helping them find education opportunities.
🍎
I give extra credit
I’ve been an adjunct faculty member at Austin Community College’s Visual Design department.  While I don’t teach any longer, I served as a member of the Curriculum Advisory Committee for ACC’s UX/UI associates degree program for almost a decade.
🥳
I’m a surprisingly social introvert
I co-founded the Austin chapter of Ladies That UX. This local UX meet-up boasted over 500 members and was the first LTUX chapter in North America. I’ve also served as a Director of Programs and Events for UXPA Austin.
🎓
Learning never stops, even for educators
I just earned my Masters in Information Design and Strategy with a focus on Learning Design at Northwestern University. Go wildcats!
🤠
I can be slightly obnoxious about being from Texas
Winnermint, my nom de web, pokes fun at how I pronounce the word “wintermint” in my intermittent native Texas drawl.
🧵
Makers gonna’ make
Outside of work and school, I pair building my skills in delivering synchronous online learning and working on sewing projects. I’ve live-streamed on Twitch as CatOnTheFold, where my two cats frequently raided the stream.
