I am a social scientist living in Salem, MA. Before coming to New England, I spent over ten years in New York while earning my advanced degrees and working in public higher education.

My research methods include focus groups, in-depth interviews, and surveys, which I use to understand how people perceive, experience, and interact with their environments. I’m a published author, including books, journal articles, and policy proposals, and I have presented my findings at conferences and through collaborative working groups.

I’m attracted to UX qualitative research because it aligns with my work in natural and built environments—understanding user needs, pinpointing pain points, and developing solutions that work for everyone, especially those often ignored. I look forward to applying my skills in qualitative research, inclusive design thinking, and stakeholder engagement to product and service development, helping teams create experiences that truly meet the needs of all users.
