About me

I’m a lifelong learner driven by curiosity, constantly asking questions and seeking to understand how people think, feel, and interact. That mindset naturally led me to a career in UX research.

My UX Research Journey

  • Capsule

    My UX research journey began at Capsule, a digital health startup in New York City reimagining how people receive and manage their medications. There, I built out the user research function within the Insights team, helping Product, Design, and executive leadership better understand our users, their needs, behaviors, and motivations, to guide product strategy and improve the end-to-end experience.

  • Wayfair

    After Capsule, I joined Wayfair, where I focused on user research for the supplier-facing side of the platform. This shift into enterprise UX deepened my research practice and brought new rigor to my approach, as I collaborated closely with experienced researchers and designers across the UX Research and Experience Design teams.

  • M.S @ UW Human Centered Design & Engineering

    I soon made an even bigger move, across the country to Seattle, to pursue a master’s degree in Human Centered Design and Engineering at the University of Washington, attending as a part-time evening student while continuing to work full time.

  • HBO Max

    During my final two quarters at UW, I joined HBO Max (Warner Bros Discovery) as a UX Researcher, conducting a wide range of studies, from generative to evaluative, and qualitative to quantitative. I continue to work there today, supporting research across consumer streaming experiences.

With a foundation in Human Centered Design from University of Washington, and a breadth of experience working as a UXR in industry I bring a common sense approach to UX Research and research strategy that is grounded in a foundation of sound research practice and risk/reward assessment. Complementing my background is a drive to provide impactful insights and recommendations for the people and products I work with.

More about me …

I lived in Shenzhen, China for 2 years as an English teacher in a public elementary school. From this experience and my studies in High School and College I speak some Mandarin Chinese.

As an outdoors addict, I’m an avid hiker, runner, and skier. I need a fresh dose of nature at least once a week to keep me going.

I’m a proud dog-mom of Vinny, a mixed breed rescue, who loves to join me on all of my outdoor adventures.
