About

I am a UX Researcher and Designer, Creative Strategist, Writer, and Problem Solver with 4+ years of experience turning complex ideas into clear, compelling, and useful experiences.

I bring a human-centered approach, strategic thinking, and a mix of creative and analytical problem-solving to every project. With a background spanning UX research, product strategy, engineering, and storytelling, I help organizations uncover opportunities, translate insights into action, and create experiences that balance human needs, technical possibilities, and business goals.

I earned my Master of Engineering Management from Dartmouth College’s Thayer School of Engineering, along with undergraduate degrees in Biomedical Device Design and Engineering Sciences. This multidisciplinary foundation allows me to navigate complex challenges, collaborate across disciplines, and connect user needs with meaningful solutions.

Throughout my career, I’ve contributed to digital products, healthcare and life sciences initiatives, accessibility improvements, innovation projects, and creative productions. Whether conducting research, shaping strategy, improving experiences, or communicating complex ideas, I focus on helping teams make informed decisions and create solutions that resonate.

Outside of the work itself, I’m an avid Twitter user, YouTube watcher, and moviegoer, which means I’m constantly studying how people communicate, what captures attention, and what makes stories resonate. I’m passionate about work that helps people feel more informed, supported, and connected. At my best, I help make messy ideas clearer, stronger, and easier to act on.
