My work as a UX researcher is grounded in a deep curiosity about people and the experiences that shape their behavior. I was drawn to Human-Computer Interaction as a way to turn that curiosity into impact - translating insights about users into more intuitive and meaningful product experiences.

Most recently, I was a Senior UX Researcher at MongoDB, where I partnered with product, design, and engineering teams on the Atlas platform, leading security and enterprise-focused research. I also conducted research on MongoDB’s developer education ecosystem, helping teams better understand and support developers as they learned and adopted the platform.

When I’m not working, you can find me doing improv, working on pottery, or at the dog park with my pup, Mochi.

I'm currently based in New York City. Want to work together or chat over coffee?
