About
I'm a social scientist with a background in social psychology, anthropology, user experience, and media & gender studies. As an industry user researcher, my work delivers actionable insights that empower developers to make informed decisions about product development and strategy. As a PhD scholar, I conducted years of human-centric social scientific research at the intersections of user experience, gender, identity, and gaming. My research has been presented at flagship academic conferences and published in peer-reviewed academic journals and book chapters.
