About

With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Rutgers University, I have developed a robust career in user experience and customer engagement. Currently, I am a UX Researcher Analyst at SalientHQ, where I conduct user research and analyze data to enhance user experiences. Previously, I served as a Customer Engagement Analyst at E Source, focusing on critical customer experience trends for utility companies. My role involved analyzing data to address customer experience questions and delivering comprehensive reports to leadership teams. At Cambio Labs, I streamlined onboarding processes for Web 3.0 users and developed educational content on NFTs. As a Customer Success Coach at Trilogy Education, I guided students in storyboarding and research skills, while also enhancing my expertise in design tools like Figma. My brief tenure as a Customer Insights Analyst at Argos Education involved leading user interviews and collaborating on product redesign efforts to boost adoption and usage.
