Personality Traits
Interested in learning more about me? Here are the results of some personality trait tests.

The Enneagram is a test dividing users into 9 different profiles to gain context and insight into interpersonal dynamics. The test identified me as Type 3: The Achiever. According to the Enneagram Institute “Threes know how good it feels to develop themselves and contribute their abilities to the world, and also enjoy motivating others to greater personal achievements than others thought they were capable of.” This resonates we me on a personal level, I always want to myself and those around me to grow and better themselves. As a UX Designer, that comes in the form of helping users identify problems and finding solutions for them.

My Story <Section Outline>
Personal perspective – Give your opinions on your work, your industry, or the world in general. Even if employers don’t agree with you, they’ll still have a better idea of who you are as a person.
Share your story – Personal details about where you grew up, how you got into design, or how many cats you own will complement your work experience. It may even explain your particular style or connect the dots between projects.
Be real – Feel free to stray away from business topics. Include some of your hobbies, quirks, favorite movies, music, etc. to make yourself more memorable.
