About Me
I’m a business anthropologist who’s endlessly curious about how people live, think, and make meaning. And I love it!
Passion drives everything I do.
I specialize in turning complex data into stories that provide clear insights to shape better products, smarter strategies, and more human-centered experiences. Whether I’m digging into digital storytelling, evaluating workout apps, or mentoring early-career researchers, I bring a cultural lens and a strategic mindset to every project.

From day one, I’ve been fascinated by human behavior. I was that kid who noticed how different groups of friends acted around each other and wondered why. That spark led me to anthropology, and eventually to UX research, where I help teams uncover the cultural “why” behind user behavior.
My Philosophy
I’m fueled by passion, curiosity, and a growth mindset. Every project is a chance to learn, not just about users, but about myself as a researcher and a person. That’s why I include reflections on what I’ve learned from each experience, both in skill development and personal growth.
