Back to School (w/ Dr. Alexis Spina)

Alexis Spina is a UX Researcher for Amazon Web Services, where she specializes in uncovering user behavior, needs, and motivations to make products and services more delightful for customers. Prior to working in tech, Alexis was a graduate student at UCSB, where she pursued her research interests in STEM education, specifically preparing preservice mathematics teachers. With 10 years of K-12 teaching experience, Alexis' true passion is in education and she hopes to return to the field in some form one day. In the meantime, she's enjoying life in tech and how it supports her to spend quality time with her husband, pursue pottery, and spoil her two nieces.  Instagram: @bgandwg Facebook: @bgandwg
