Hi! It’s me, Novia!
After switching my career trajectories several times, I realized that one way for me to make a difference in the world is to improve healthcare for people while doing something that I love -- researching, teaching, and designing!
I also realized I like working with children and youth a lot, especially because no matter how hard I try, I still end up staying involved with FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). So I thought, why not focus on improving healthcare technology for children and youth? That’s how I found my research interests.
Outside of research and UX design, I love doodling, crocheting, and bake. And fun fact, I have a streak of 1200+ days of learning Japanese on Duolingo!
