I am a strategic research leader and player-coach who builds scalable, high-impact research programs, drives product strategy, and creates processes that enable teams to deliver human-centered discovery at scale. I thrive at influencing with evidence and a strong point of view, mentoring others, and turning research into actionable insights and frameworks that shape strategy and deliver measurable outcomes. My work spans UX research, customer insights, and product operations, with a consistent focus on impact, scalability, and clarity. With a PhD in Neuroscience, I bring deep expertise in how people learn, think, and make decisions. This foundation informs how I solve complex problems with rigor, uncover insights that matter, and guide teams on what to do, why it matters, and how it fits together. I partner closely with executive leadership to ensure insights drive key decisions, product vision, and organizational alignment.
