About

UX Researcher and Strategist

I thrive working on ambiguous problems where creativity and rigor are required to delineate the questions and deliver relevant insights. I have led generative, strategic, and evaluative research to guide product development and direction.

I bring subject matter expertise in the social study of technology, monetization and digital advertising, consumer preferences, and food production and consumption.

My 10+ years of international research experience allow me to scope a research problem effectively and provide timely results that drive decision making.
