Hello! I'm a Hardware UX Researcher with experience in the consumer electronics and automotive industries, and a background in computer science and game development. I currently work at Backbone, where I conduct user experience research across hardware, software, and marketing—from product usability studies to consumer insights reporting. I earned my M.A. in Applied Cognitive Psychology: User Experience from Claremont Graduate University, and hold dual B.S. degrees in Computer Science and Interactive Media & Game Development from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. My career interests center on UX research with a focus on accessibility and inclusion.

I'm currently open to full-time opportunities—please feel free to reach out!
