I’m an empathic, data-driven, human-centered researcher and academic author with over 7 years of research experience in UX and psychology, particularly in emerging tech (eg, AR/VR). I currently hold 4 publications with >200 citations across the two disciplines.

I have several years of experience leading qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies, producing insights that empower product teams to confidently make decisions in technically complex problem spaces. Leveraging my firm understanding of the human-centered design process, I excel in cross-functional collaboration while helping guide product strategy & direction. 

As an amputee and former refugee, I’m passionate about advocating for the experiences of people of all backgrounds and abilities and studying how those experiences shape the role technology plays in their lives.
