I uncover the gap between what people say, what they actually do, and what teams assume.
I then carry that evidence through product strategy, workflow design, and implementation.

My UX Journey
Connecting the Dots
My strength is connecting information that is often considered separately: user behavior, research findings, business priorities, workflows, and product constraints. Bringing those pieces together helps teams see the real problem, make clearer decisions, and build more useful solutions.
Psychology & People
I was a people watcher long before I knew UX existed. Studying psychology gave an academic foundation to a curiosity I already had: why people do what they do, what they leave unsaid, and why behavior does not always match intention.
Yes, I Love Survyes
Even as a kid, I loved surveys and noticed how wording changed what people understood and how they responded. My mom found it funny. Now I get paid to design studies, uncover patterns, and turn what I learn into product direction. That is pretty awesome.
MBA & Business Strategy
My MBA in Marketing and International Business helps me look at user problems from both sides: what people need and what an organization can realistically support. I consider strategy, operations, and implementation alongside the experience itself.
Project Leadership
My PMP and years of program leadership help me move work from insight into action. I bring structure to competing priorities, coordinate people across functions, and keep research, design, and delivery connected through implementation.
Curiosity without Borders
Traveling internationally, often on my own, gives that curiosity somewhere to roam. New places make me pay attention to how culture, context, and everyday systems shape behavior, while reminding me to ask questions before assuming I understand.
