Almost through week 2 of working as a UX Researcher. I knew I’d love it but I LOVE IT. I have moments when I’m hard on myself because all these acronyms and jargon but I’ll get there. So proud of myself 😍😝😌 #blackinUX #BlackTechTwitter #womenintech #careertransition

I’ve been silent but I’ve been interviewing. Talking to mentors, talking to colleagues, talking to employers and as always feeling grateful and hopeful! Getting closer and closer. It’s the whole journey that matters. #careertransition #womenintech #BlackTechTwitter #blackinUX

I haven’t said anything in a while. I’ve been interviewing and waiting. Trusting and being patient. Landing a job in today’s industry is an arduous process. Still hopeful and can’t wait to share good news. #careertransition #careerswitch #uxresearch #blackinUX #edtech

Internship ends tomorrow and I have an unexplainable sense of peace that this is one of the best decisions I’ve made for me. Job is not secured as I thought it would be but I’m so sure it’s coming soon. God’s working right now. #careerswitch

Interviews are such an interesting experience. You could be awful at interviewing and excellent in your role and vice versa or both. But follow your instincts-both from the interviewer and interviewee POV. #blackintech #BlackTechTwitter #womenintech #interviewtips #careerswitch

#a11y To current #uxdesigner and #uxresearcher Do you include #accessibility research when designing your products? What does that process look like in your company? #BlackinTech #blackinUX #womenintech #uxdesign #ux #uxui #Learn

Wanted to learn more about #accessibility-testing so I asked my research lead. She set up a session today and I observed the STRUGGLE that #users face using #assistivetechnology on pages that were NOT #accessible. I was near tears.We were all were.#womenintech #BlackinTech #UX

Internship is coming to a close in 2.5 weeks. It has been a RICH experience. #Transitioning from #education to #edtech has been rewarding. Being able to work from my passion of education,mental health and social good has been 🥹😭😆🙃😜😌. #blackinUX #blacktechtwitter #edxit

Honestly, applying for jobs and getting constant rejections takes so much grit. This week has been a challenge for me to mentally push through my own doubts/fears. BUT I’m still convinced and know good things are coming for me. #careertransiton #BlackTechTwitter #blackinUX

Pivoting into tech takes alot of work! Pivoting during a recession AND mass layoffs is even harder. Between this and submitting countless job applications, remember to give yourself grace. It takes mental discipline and constant motivation.

I did it y’all!! I resigned from my school counselor position for the upcoming school year to fully pursue being in UX. It’s been a whirlwind and it’s definitely requires FAITH but I’m excited to share MORE great news as it comes. #careertransition #blackinUX #Blacktechtwitter
