I’ve always been deeply interested in the human experience. Thanks to a BS in Cultural Anthropology I’ve gained strong synthesis skills, a comfort with ambiguity, and have been trained to understand complex social systems with the core question: why?

An MA in museum studies introduced new ways to practice empathy, research, and observation. Interwoven in my day-to-day were projects like visitor experience research, focus group facilitation, and a steady stream of public speaking and storytelling.

UX research is a seamless blend of my experience, skills, and strengths. In my current role I work with a variety of companies at different levels of UX maturity and in different industries. I operate collaboratively to help understand the user and strategically improve their experiences.
