I am a strategic user researcher and ethnographer with five years of experience leading UX projects in the technology industry. I will complete a PhD in Science and Technology Studies in May 2020, and am currently looking for a full-time user research role.

My PhD research ethnographically explores the cultural significance of popular meditation apps such as Headspace, Calm, and Insight Timer, analyzing how these tools impact cultural norms for mental health in the digital age.

I am comfortable planning and executing complex research projects independently—as well as collaborating with others and teaching research best-practices to teams who are new to UX. I am particularly passionate about ensuring that research, as well as technology design and development more broadly, have a positive social impact.
