“Another joy of research is the art of empathizing with our users, which I put at the forefront of all my work.”

Welcome to my portfolio!

I’m a Mixed Methods UX Researcher, born and raised in the Bay Area. One of the strongest skills I’ve developed throughout my professional career in research is how to excel at engaging my stakeholders throughout the research process. Strong stakeholder engagement generates excitement and motivation across the entire team. This fosters a really healthy partnership between Research, Engineering, Product and UX Design while we collaborate to drive strategy and execution of impactful research insights. A large joy of research for me is the art of empathizing with users, which I put at the forefront of all my work. I enjoy focusing on the human connection, and the unexpected insights that result from observing people in their own element.

For fun, I love to run and cook. I cannot say "no" to anything active or outdoorsy; I have trekked the Pacific Crest Trail over several backpacking trips, completed 7 half marathons, 9 triathlons and participated in the 2018 Santa Rosa Half Ironman!

My Work experience includes Yahoo!, Google and Samsung:
