8+ years across healthcare, financial services, e-commerce, and enterprise consulting, with a clinical background that shapes how I listen, probe, and build trust with the people I study.
I help product teams understand the "why" behind user behavior, and turn that understanding into decisions people actually act on. My research spans in-depth patient interviews, financial advisor workflows, and e-commerce navigation, and I started my UX career on the consulting side, advising B2B SaaS clients like WorldPay and UiPath on product strategy. The throughline across all of it is the same: uncover what's really happening, then tell that story in a way stakeholders can't ignore.
Before UX research, I trained as a clinical behavioral therapist. That background shows up constantly: in how I build psychological safety in an interview, read behavioral patterns across sessions, and stay grounded when a conversation gets emotionally complex.
Aligning research initiatives to business objectives so every study earns its place on the roadmap.
Qual, quant, or both: I pick the approach the question actually needs, from JTBD to large-scale surveys.
Building partnerships across design, product, and engineering so findings turn into shipped decisions.
Connecting research to business metrics (conversion, task completion, satisfaction) to prove the value.
Mentoring researchers and designers, and building the operations that make research repeatable.
