Stay curious and resilient.
Hey there!
My name is Denise Ortiz and I am working as a User Experience (UX) Researcher (technology industry). My job is to gather feedback on digital designs and processes (websites, apps, wearables, etc.), so that we can learn what is working well for customers and what needs improvement. I accomplish that by having customers test new ideas, and asking them questions about their experience. When we provide customer feedback to our User Experience (UX) designers and web developers, we are able to make meaningful changes that positively impact the digital customer experience.
By pursing a STEM career, you are embarking on a path filled with endless possibilities and incredible opportunities. You have the power to shape the world around you through your passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Don’t be afraid to dream big and explore new ideas.
Surround yourself with mentors, role models, and a supportive community. Seek out opportunities to learn, whether it’s through internships, online classes, or workshops (digital and/or in-person).
Stay curious and resilient. Ask as many questions as possible. Keep learning. Always remember that your unique perspective as a woman in STEM is invaluable. You are capable, intelligent, and deserving of success. The world needs more brilliant minds like yours.
Wishing you an inspiring and fulfilling journey ahead!
Warmest regards,
