What I'm looking for

I'm seeking meaningful opportunities where I can combine psychology, user research, design, and storytelling to create better digital experiences, contribute to behavioral research, and grow into a leader in this space.

I've published Old Season: and Unchecked Jealousy with Notion Press, a 40,000+ word novel exploring friendship, loneliness, identity, and emotional authenticity. I managed manuscript development, editor coordination, and marketing strategy while building a strong foundation in narrative craft.

I'm building at the intersection of cognitive science, behavioral psychology, and human-centered digital design. My University of Cambridge training spans cognitive psychology, neuropsychology, embodied cognition, decision-making, learning, and memory.

I translate complex ideas about human behavior into clear narratives, research-informed design thinking, and user-centered communication. My growing technical toolkit includes Python, SQL, HTML, Excel, Canva, Figma, data visualization, and generative AI.

I'm especially motivated by opportunities to use psychology to improve digital experiences, tell stories that matter, and deepen understanding of how people think and decide.
