This week we want to introduce you to Jessi Boyer<\/a>. Jessi completed the UXR Certificate in 2021. Today she is a graduate student in Anthropology at Boise State and she has opened her own UX business. Below is Jessi’s story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I earned my UX Pro certificate in 2021, followed by a BA in Interdisciplinary Professional Studies in the summer of 2022. I have many years of political organizing and campaign management experience that I have mixed with a user-perspective skillset in my consulting business, Illuminated Insights, LLC. My clients include statewide political candidates, nonprofit organizations, and biotech and engineering firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am also continuing my education. I am working on the Graduate Certificate in User Research and an MA in Anthropology at Boise State University. I am supported as a paid research assistant on a National Science Foundation funded grant – Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace – with Dr. Kendall House and Dr. John Ziker in Anthropology and Dr. Jerry Fails in Computer Science. The grant maps threat perception and responses in online parental behavior in a new theoretical framework called the Digital Ecology of Fear.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but most important, I am a single mom raising my (very cool) 12-year-old daughter in the East End of Boise, and she loves Boise summers. She strives to leverage her impact for justice, inclusivity, and conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you studied with Jessi, reach out and renew your connection. If you didn’t, get to know her and learn more about her UX research journey!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
