What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead mixed-methods research that shapes product strategy, roadmap decisions, and customer experiences through close partnership with product, design, and business stakeholders.

I've led UX research for Evernorth, CenterWell, Charles Schwab, Bass Pro/Cabela's, and global mobility clients, translating generative and evaluative findings into product strategy, roadmap priorities, and design decisions.

Across healthcare, financial services, e-commerce, and B2B SaaS, I run mixed-methods studies spanning usability testing, interviews, surveys, analytics, card sorting, and Jobs to be Done. I've also led distributed teams, mentored designers, and partnered closely with stakeholders to improve digital experiences.
