My name is Lila Cardillo, and I am an aspiring User Experience Designer. I am currently a Master’s student at the University of San Diego, where I am studying Learning Design and Technology. In addition to being a student, I am an Associate Teacher at an elementary school in Los Angeles, California.

I double majored in Psychological Science and Sociology at Pomona College, graduating in 2022. Before diving into the education industry, my first love was research. I served as a research assistant at a developmental psychology lab during my undergraduate studies, and after graduating, I became a user research intern with Cards Against Humanity.

I plan to leverage the skills and knowledge I am gaining while studying Learning Design and Technology, while merging my education and research backgrounds, to help companies and platforms optimize a user’s experience.
