Product manager and UX researcher who transforms user insights into impactful, data-driven products.
What I'm looking for
I am a product manager and UX researcher with a background in cognitive science and speech-language pathology, focused on building solutions that address real user needs. I combine research-driven empathy with practical product delivery, running discovery, designing experiments, and translating insights into measurable outcomes.
At ManoMano I supported discovery and delivery for ads and navigation, led A/B testing and Amplitude analysis that improved ad relevance (+16% CTR), redesigned filters and product cards through UX workshops, and launched a generative-AI SearchAI proof of concept to accelerate search relevance.
I have research experience in human-robot interaction, designing usability tests and defining user-acceptance frameworks for industrial deployment, and clinical experience as a speech-language therapist working with neurological communication disorders. I seek roles where I can apply cross-disciplinary skills to build innovative, useful, and socially impactful products.
