About Me
I’m an empathic, data-driven, human-centered researcher and academic author with over 6 years of research experience in psychology and UX. I hold 4 peer-reviewed publications across the two disciplines. UX domains I’ve studied include operating systems, BI systems, and emergent technologies like AR/VR/MR.
With a mixed-methods approach, I have experience with research strategy & roadmapping as well as leading research studies end-to-end. I’m particularly adept at independently supporting and closely collaborating with a wide range of cross-functional partners in highly ambiguous, rapidly changing problem spaces. I have a proven track record of meeting business needs in resource-constrained environments.
As a former refugee and someone with a physical disability, I’m passionate about advocating for the experiences of people of all backgrounds and abilities and impacting how those experiences shape the role tech plays in their lives.
