Who I am

About

Asking better questions turned into a career. Finding better answers turned it into a calling.

Researcher, strategist, creative explorer.

I’ve helped shape player experiences for Call of Duty and led user research across tech, film, and government projects. Outside the lab, you’ll find me traveling, throwing clay at the pottery wheel, or chasing new ways to see and shape the world around me.

Work exprience

2021 – Present

Associate Researcher

ACtivision blizzard

At Activision Blizzard, I lead UX research and playtesting for Call of Duty Mobile, collaborating with international teams across LA, Barcelona, Shanghai, and Berlin. I manage player testing from end to end — combining SQL, Python, and telemetry tools to gather insights and optimize live gameplay experiences.

Beyond the data, I proactively consult with product teams to drive updates aligned with player needs and business goals. I also developed internal monitoring protocols that made playtest operations faster, smoother, and way less chaotic.

Project Manager - Learning Experiences

Snapchat X next shift learning (contract)

At Snapchat, I launched a research-driven initiative to refine the Snapchat Scholars' curriculum, translating student feedback into better learning outcomes and stronger student engagement.

I also created custom surveys for the Snapchat AR Lens Challenge, helping the team understand learning preferences, boost program satisfaction, and increase student participation rates.

2015 – 2016

Freelance Product Strategist

Poolhouse

As a freelance strategist for Poolhouse, I conducted in-depth churn analysis to uncover user pain points and retention issues.

Using those insights, I co-led the creation of a user-focused product roadmap — keeping future product updates aligned with real-world user needs and strategic business goals.

2012 – 2015

UI Design Intern

Jam City

During my time at Jam City, I bridged communication gaps between UI Design and Consumer Insights teams.

By streamlining feedback loops, I helped unify design initiatives and ensured the user's voice stayed at the center of every project.

Core values

Curious by Nature

I'm driven by curiosity, the kind that asks why, digs deeper, and refuses to settle for surface-level answers. I believe better questions lead to better outcomes, whether in design, research, or life.

Strategic and Sharp

I move with intention. Whether it's a user journey or a life decision, I believe in clarity, focus, and action backed by data and insight. Good strategy isn’t just smart — it’s human.

Inclusive by Default

I don't believe in 'adding' diversity — it should already be there. I design, research, and lead with inclusion built in, making sure different perspectives aren't just welcomed but actively centered.
