This episode of Scotty Stories introduces us to Sandhya Pillalamarri, an HCI grad with experience in fields ranging from fin tech to healthcare. Sandhya shares her fascinating journey to Pittsburgh and CMU from Arizona, and how she followed her passion in HCI after finishing her education. Through her eyes, we view the authenticity of Pittsburgh, the camaraderie of CMU, and what HCI and user experience means. Sandhya advises us to completely live in the moment, even those moments spent in a Wean Hall classroom!
