With a background in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Linguistics, and Social Computing, I have experience successfully collaborating with a variety of cross-functional collaborators, including data scientists, software engineers, designers and social scientists in both research and industry environments. My recent research focuses on AI in SaaS environments. Currently at EvenUp, I am fortunate to be the first UX researcher at this cutting-edge, vibrant startup that taps AI to generate various deliverables to injury law firms. I focus on foundational research, identifying user pain points, new product development, and change enablement. Prior experience is in the Trust & Safety space; areas of focus have been on Misinformation, Privacy, Human Rights, Online Violence and Child Safety. I'm interested in the use and perception of technology from an international perspective, with an eye toward defining design principles that consider non-Western cultural values. I work to combine 'thick data' with 'big data' to provide in-depth understandings of how information forms, spreads and is consumed by technology users with various goals, and in various cultural contexts. My experience includes field work in the Middle East, Global South, the Sub-Indian continent, Europe and North America.
