KarenI live in Atlanta, Georgia where I work for Cisco Systems. I’ve spent a good portion of my career trying to understand user’s needs so I can help them use products. I feel like the HCI masters program is a great fit for me. I especially enjoy setting up studies to better understand user product perceptions.
