Hi there!

I’m Shari, a senior studying Cognitive Science (Concentration in Human Cognition and Decision) and UX Design at the University of Michigan.

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 looking for a full-time position following my graduation in May 2025.

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 read, try new foods, and listen to music. Fun fact: last year, I listened to over 100,000 minutes of music.
