Isabel Almaguer
Isabel graduate from the University of Houston - Downtown (UHD), with a B.S. in Computer Science, along with two minors, one in Math, the other in Art. After graduating, she worked as a Business Intelligence (BI) Analyst for 4+ years, where she researched solutions, visually communicated data, and collaborated with several stakeholders across departments.
She made the decision to make a career transition into User Experience (UX) after looking into other career options that existed from her background. This choice was made in large part due to the problem-solving opportunities presented in a UX role. To assist with that transition, she pursued a Master's in Human Computer Interactions at Iowa State University. She now work in the Energy field at Enbridge as a UX Researcher.
