Researcher by trade, designer by study, and storyteller by nature. My work is primarily two-fold. First, understand people. And then, advocate for them.
I'm currently a Senior User Experience Researcher at Adobe working on Enterprise UX and Employee Digital Experiences. Previously, I was a UXR in the science industry, on the digital teams that delivered eCommerce and B2B experiences to global scientific communities. I majored in Design, concentrated in Social and Decision Sciences, and minored in photography.
I have a passion for understanding people, and trying to make their lives a teensy bit easier when they interact with technology. Along the way, I like to share what I've learned in the UX industry to help pave the way for future folks interested in breaking into this field.
You can find me as a research mentor for women in tech, writing about my experiences, and sharing some video tidbits of UX research knowledge here.
Outside of work, I’m an artist and hobby photographer, foodie, and lover of outdoor activities. You can usually find me snapping pictures, creating new items for my Society6 page and exploring coffee shops and trails with my human, Shawn :)
