What I'm looking for

I'm looking to use psychology, UX research, behavioral insights, and change management to improve user experiences and help build products that positively impact people's lives.

At Nokia, I support the User Experience Center by building awareness of UX principles, refining UX metrics, and contributing to AI research initiatives.

I bring psychology and change-management approaches to rethink project and department goals, while collaborating with Global Communications on company-wide initiatives.

Previously at OutSystems, I led research activities including interviews, observations, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and communicating findings. I worked within continuous discovery teams to identify opportunities, solve product problems, and manage stakeholders across departments.

My background in Cognitive and Social Psychology also informs my work in customer analytics, market analysis, sustainability, risk communication, and behavioral change. I'm motivated by understanding what makes people tick and using technology to create products that positively impact their lives.
