I’m a Senior User Experience Researcher with 13 years of experience helping teams build better tools for the people who rely on them every day. I hold dual degrees from the University of Washington—a B.A. in Anthropology (with a focus on Medical Anthropology and Global Health) and a B.S. in Human Centered Design & Engineering, both earned in 2012.

My UX journey began at Microsoft, where I spent several years as a consultant shaping experiences across industries—from aerospace and finance to education and robotics. I later joined the OneNote team as a design researcher, focusing on tools for education. After a brief stint on Facebook Marketplace’s Buyer and Seller Growth teams, I found my home at Blue Origin, where for the past 5 years I’ve led research to improve the tools that power space exploration.

Outside of work, I’m a lifelong maker and arts-and-crafts enthusiast, a new Magic: The Gathering player (thanks to my husband and partner of 15 years), and a proud mom to four—two amazing kids and two mischievous cats.
