Insight-Driven Strategist

About
I’m a UX researcher, project manager, and academic with a PhD in climate science education. Much of my work centers on sustainability and systems thinking, and I’m passionate about helping people make sense of complex challenges, whether that means designing better user experiences, leading collaborative projects, or translating research into something meaningful and actionable. My path has taken me through science labs, classrooms, field sites, and design sprints, but always with a focus on the people at the heart of the work.These days, I’m expanding my portfolio to showcase projects in UX design, sustainability, and data storytelling. I’ve led research teams, built educational programs, and co-founded an AI-powered learning platform designed to support access to high-quality learning experiences. I love diving into research, asking thoughtful questions, and finding practical ways to turn insights into impact. Thanks so much for stopping by and feel free to explore or reach out!
