Research that moves AIhealthhardwaresoftware forward.

Two decades working in health and wellness, with deep roots in cognitive psychology and behavior change. My background in psychology shapes how I approach research: understanding how people build mental models, develop expertise, and learn new systems. Nearly a decade at Google. A background in cognitive neuroscience, psychology, behavior change, ergonomics, and product development, and a career-long mission to improve the human experience through research that actually drives product direction.

My work lives at genuinely hard intersections: novel AI products with no established mental models, FDA-regulated medical devices where a missed insight has critical implications, health data visualizations where design choices affect whether someone understands their own body. I've developed a specific edge in researching across hardware-software ecosystems, understanding not just single-product UX but the handoffs and mental models users maintain across mobile, web, and wearable simultaneously (with contextual adaptation).

M.S. in User-Centered Design at Brandeis University (Research & Analytics track, expected 2026).

Outside of work I spend my time woodworking, serving tea, dog training, and hiking.
