Description

In this episode, we talk to Emily Chen, Cornell Human Ecology Class of 2020, who is redefining what it means to put humans first—as a user experience (UX) researcher for Harvard.

Emily shares her journey to becoming a bold Cornell connector, diving into how a love for doodling led her to the Design and Environmental Analysis major. She opens up about rebranding herself socially, finding the perfect blend of science and empathy in her studies, and eventually discovering the little-known but hugely impactful field of UX research. Let is know if you've heard of this!

Emily’s story is all about following curiosity, embracing vulnerability, and designing a meaningful life—with the user always in mind.

Also she has 100 people to family events.
