Innovative UX Researcher with a Background in Product Management and Content Creation
Hi there! I am a qualitative UX researcher driven to revolutionize human experiences. Armed with a background as a product manager and content writer, I'm currently honing my craft in Human-Computer Interaction (MS-HCI) at Georgia Tech, where my mission is to bridge the gap between technology and human needs, crafting user-centric solutions that spark real change. My experience spans industries such as technology and media, providing a robust foundation for innovative solutions.

Projects

My team partnered with Microsoft to understand the needs of admins (community owners) managing online and offline communities, and incorporate the learnings by designing features for them. The team designed 5 new product features and ran usability tests to report findings.See More
