About

I'm a UX researcher with a background that runs from enterprise consulting to academic HCI and a consistent interest in what happens when systems meet real human need. My research at the STEW Lab (Indiana University, PI: Dong Whi Yoo) examines how college students use LLM-based AI chatbots for mental health support in unstructured, real-world contexts. Before my master's, I spent three years at Deloitte in enterprise finance consulting across 8 global enterprise projects, ranging from stakeholder workshops, requirement mapping, development, usability testing, role-based design, for Fortune 500 clients across healthcare, finance, and government. I came away with a deep respect for what rigorous research can accomplish at scale, and a clear sense of where I wanted to take that next. This summer I'm joining MathWorks as a UX Research Intern. Always happy to connect with people working on responsible AI, research methods, or the human side of complex systems.
