About Me
I started my career as a writer and content designer, finding my way to UX research through a desire to keep people at the heart of user experience design. Interviewing users and highlighting their stories is one of my favorite parts about being a researcher, but I'm also adept at collaborating closely with everyone from product design to operations/support. |

I truly enjoy mentoring others and helping them achieve their career goals while giving them opportunities to capitalize on their strengths. My management style focuses on creating a supportive environment where teams can thrive and be acknowledged for the impact of their work. I managed a team of content producers and designers at Expedia in two different roles, and a team of content designers - spread across 3 cities - at Airbnb.
