I am a quantitative researcher with 15+ years of experience leading research into human behavior and technology. I was most recently a Staff User Experience Researcher and product team lead on Meta’s Trust & Safety team for nearly 4 years, where my research shaped strategy & products related to content relevance, safety, 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. My cross-disciplinary expertise bridges product strategy, user research, data science, team leadership, and cross-functional collaboration. Prior to my work in technology, I was an academic psychologist & neuroscientist specializing in social behavior, attitudes, cognition, and personality.
