About me

About me

With an MS in Human-Computer Interaction and experience spanning research institutions, legal organizations, and corporate wellness platforms, I've learned that the most impactful research happens when you genuinely understand both your users and your stakeholders.

Whether I'm learning about nematode genetics to better serve research scientists or studying funeral planning to help employees navigate life's difficult moments, I believe curiosity and empathy are a researcher's most powerful tools. I specialize in uncovering the gaps between assumptions and real user needs because that's where insight-driven decisions create lasting value.
