Hey, Lola here.
Recently graduated with a degree in Cognitive Science from the University of Southern California. Now getting an M.S. from IYA at USC in Integrated Business, Design, and Technology—learning the ins and outs of product development & UI/UX design. Currently working at Tesla.
Born & raised in New York City. I am Lebanese-Venezuelan and identify quite evenly with both cultures—a magical blend if you ask me.
Right now I am living in LA and looking for full-time opportunities to be based either in LA, Miami, NYC or Europe after August.
