I'm a Staff Mixed-Methods UX Researcher who builds programs from scratch, surfaces blind spots, and moves fast.

Currently at Meta Reality Labs with 8+ years leading research that shapes product strategy—from VR headset launches used by millions to building cross-functional 0-to-1 quality frameworks. I've been promoted twice in three years and earned "Redefined Expectations" (top 1% company-wide) by doing research that pushes stakeholders to ask harder questions.

What I bring:

• Mixed methods expertise with strong R & SQL skills—I self-serve on data daily rather than wait for analytics support

• Program & tool building—I've created research infrastructure that saved $1M+ and scaled across multiple organizations

• AI-native researcher—I use AI tools to accelerate workflows and I'm excited to build the research tools of the future

• Speed + rigor—I'd rather run a scrappy study today than a perfect one next week, but I bring enough experience that strong methods come naturally

I earned my Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology from Northwestern University (2022), where my research on misinformation and information evaluation appeared in journals like Cognition and Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. That background in understanding how people process information now informs how I approach user research in emerging tech.

Recent highlights: Presented gamer segmentation research at Meta Connect 2025, and published an article on how developers can leverage this framework for more user-centered approach to their designs.

On weekends I'm probably drinking coffee or rock climbing (or somehow managing both, simultaneously).
