I am a quantitative researcher and data scientist with 15+ years of experience leading research into human behavior, technology, and product development. Currently, I am a Senior User Experience Researcher with Google Search. Prior, I was a Staff User Experience Researcher and product-team lead on Meta’s Trust & Safety team. My research shapes strategy & products related to content relevance, safety, search, settings, AI, well-being, growth and churn. For instance, my work guided Facebook’s 3-dot menu design and addition of the “Interested/Not Interested” feature on every post. Having formally and informally served across several functions, my expertise bridges user research, data science, product management, and team leadership. Prior to my work in tech, I was an academic psychologist & neuroscientist specializing in social behavior, attitudes, cognition, and personality.
