Obtaining certification in business analysis was one of the first steps in my journey of coursework, training, mentorship, professional certifications, and experience in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Through early project opportunities, I discovered my interest in user experience design. I studied different aspects of user experience design that would best fill the skill gaps of my teams. That led to a master&#8217;s degree in user experience design and becoming the UX lead for my team. From there, I grew into my role as the User Experience Strategist for my organization, where I was responsible for developing and implementing user experience best practices from strategy to execution and implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In my journey, I discovered a passion for helping others grow and succeed. I have started and led several growth and development initiatives where I facilitated training and development in business analysis, user experience design, and agile best practices across my organization. I have even coached and trained several teams in our company&#8217;s annual fitness challenges (and won a few times).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If I had to sum myself and my career up briefly, I would say I am passionate about continuous positive growth for myself and the people around me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angelokalevela.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4U9A1096-02FitnessChallengeCoach.jpg?resize=1024%2C457&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-87\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angelokalevela.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4U9A1096-02FitnessChallengeCoach-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C457&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angelokalevela.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4U9A1096-02FitnessChallengeCoach-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C134&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angelokalevela.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4U9A1096-02FitnessChallengeCoach-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C343&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angelokalevela.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4U9A1096-02FitnessChallengeCoach-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C686&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angelokalevela.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4U9A1096-02FitnessChallengeCoach-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C914&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started my career as a business analyst and decided early that I wanted to dedicate myself to becoming a world-class business analyst.
