I have always been fascinated by people – how they think and behave, what delights and frustrates them, and why.
Having spent the last ten years conducting research in academia and industry, I have developed strengths in synthesizing complex data and communicating ideas with clarity and impact.
I currently lead research on Health and Benefits products at WEX. I'm conducting mixed-methods studies to define the vision for a reimagined, AI-driven user experience.
My previous work focused on building cutting-edge IoT and AI technology for physical operations. In this capacity, I gained experience researching ambiguous problem spaces in a rapidly growing industry and leading research for 0→1 products.
As a historian at Harvard and Oxford, I spent over six years trying to understand how people think, behave, and communicate.
As much as I enjoyed studying the cultures of the past, I realized that I wanted to make a deeper impact on society today. UX research offers just that: a way to make people's lives better, one product at a time.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, hiking, and playing jazz piano.
They balance out more screen-heavy weeks—whether that's trying a new recipe, getting outside, or chipping away at jazz standards at the piano.
