As a UX researcher, I bring a holistic, global perspective shaped by years of experience in education, restorative health, and the arts. Before transitioning to UX, I spent over a decade teaching overseas and developing a rehabilitative care practice centered on recovery and the connection between people and their environments. These experiences taught me to pay close attention to people within complex systems, noticing what often goes overlooked and bridging different ways of thinking.

Drawing from my background in international education, physical product design, and rehabilitative care, I combine tactile thinking with a big-picture approach to research. I focus on the spaces where products, services, and information meet real lives, where small moments shape larger experiences. I approach research with care and clarity, helping organizations design with a deeper understanding of the realities people face.
