As an undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point, I took classes with Susan Weinschenk where my interest in UX research began. Upon graduating, I was fortunate enough to begin a research role with The Team W. I worked closely with UserTesting as a contractor and cultivated my skills in analysis best practices, end-to-end research, and research best practices.

After years as a contractor, I had the pleasure of joining UserTesting’s Professional Services team to provide end-to-end research services to organizations in industries such as telecommunications/communication platforms, beauty, consumer goods, and more.

In every role, I thrived on collaboration with my team as well as stakeholders by actively engaging them in the research process and building trust by delivering actionable insights. My innate curiosity fuels creative problem-solving to uncover insights about people that empower informed decisions.

Aside from work, you can find me problem solving in other ways. Particularly with knitting, crocheting, and sewing. With these outlets, I find myself learning about a new stitch, technique, fabric through trial and error. You can also find me spending time with my family, discovering a new recipe, or starting a new hobby.
