When I finished grad school, I struggled to transition from higher education into the tech industry. With my background in public health, it became increasingly evident to me that there was a significant disparity in access for women and people of color looking to break into tech careers. While my assistance extends to all individuals, my initial focus was on addressing these specific gaps.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of aiding hundreds of individuals in securing better job opportunities and advancing towards their career aspirations. This experience led me to a realization: the need for more structured resources as opposed to solely offering one-on-one support. Therefore, I decided to leverage my research expertise to develop more comprehensive resources and support systems. This initiative is aimed at providing holistic assistance to anyone in need, ensuring that the bridge from academia to the tech industry is accessible and navigable for all.
Lena's UX Office Hours are meticulously designed to cater to a diverse range of participants, from those embarking on their initial journey in User Experience (UX) to seasoned professionals seeking to refine their existing skills. This platform serves as a dynamic educational environment, fostering an atmosphere of collective learning, knowledge sharing, and professional growth within the UX domain.
Participants can anticipate acquiring the skills necessary to effectively articulate their unique narrative within the User Experience (UX) industry. Through structured guidance, we focus on enabling individuals to proficiently communicate their personal journey, expertise, and the distinctive value they bring to the UX realm.
In recognition of the current challenges faced by many in securing employment, we are pleased to offer the UX Office Hours sessions for February and March of 2024 at no cost.
After that, each session will cost $20.
This fee is essential in enabling us to sustain the high quality of our offerings. We put a lot of love into creating our sessions, and we know you will love them too!
