a face to the name

I’m a user researcher by trade and a sense-maker at heart. I love digging into complexity and finding ways to make things more clear - whether it’s simplifying products for users or helping teams connect the dots..

As a self-starter, I developed my technical research skills through freelance work and diverse in-house roles at companies including WeWork, Compass, Indeed, and HoneyBook.

Over the years, I’ve held a variety of roles that have given me experience in leading product research, developing scalable frameworks, driving strategic initiatives, and improving access to institutional knowledge (e.g. research repositories and JTBD maps). I’ve also mentored and managed researchers at varying levels, and developed programs to train / up-skill new researchers entering the job market (i.e. Indeed’s rapid research program).

When I’m not conducting research, I like to spend my time climbing at the gym and outdoors, writing, or seeking out the best hiking trails with my dog, Spock.
