Bachelorette: User Experience Design

Improved Essays
I am Victoria Bowie and I am on my way to accomplishing a bachelorette in User Experience Design at Lesley University. From a tender age, I have always been fascinated with technology and my mind would fill up with thoughts on how I could help society for the greater good of mankind. Daydreaming about how I can make a change in the world and actions that I have made to help others has been happening since my younger days, even up till now. I was fixing computers at the age of eleven and creating web pages from the age of fifteen. When I reached high school, I thought I wanted to be more involved with mathematics and science by virtue of me enjoying it and also being really efficient on these subjects. In my head, I had it all planned. “I am …show more content…
I realized that this was not where my heart lied and this wasn’t the way I wanted to contribute to society. I started thinking “Yes, I am good at this but, I am not getting the satisfaction I desire” I just knew that this wasn’t the way I wanted to help. Then I switched to child care.

Even though I loved doing these things, I soon realized that this too wouldn’t be the way. The day I realized what my true passion came to me like how a boomerang responds to it, owner. Technology has been calling me for a long time and I didn’t realize until now. One of the biggest forces that have influenced my professional growth is when I inaugurated into IT related functions with my current job. The atmosphere is filled with continuous learning and problem solving, and having the ability to show off ideas is a big part of my job and it is something I enjoy doing. When I 1st began, I had no intentions of really making this type of occupation a career. I was still in search of what my true passion was. As I dived into this new field I found that I was getting the enjoyment I have been looking for. Helping people, being creative and being able to share and implement my ideas. I began getting involved with development, and it gave me great satisfaction that something that I thought in my mind, manifested through me by applying the idea through technology; and now helps the people around me directly and indirectly. I loved combining the thought process of humans to the functions of technology. Bringing them closer together for seamless communication on higher and more productive level. My boomerang hitting me is the best thing that has happened to me, for it has opened my
