Hi there! 👋🏻 I’m Leah. I’ve been doing research in many forms for over 10 years (academia, UX, data analytics, evaluation), with a PhD in Sociology, and I’ve moved through the messy work of academic-to-industry transition myself.
While I didn't stay in academia, my *favorite* part was helping students try and figure out their futures and navigate the confusing systems of academia and post-grad career chaos. I get that same joy helping people here on MentorCruise.
What I bring to our work together:
-Deep systems thinking: I see how organizations’ culture, policy, and structure shape what’s possible (and what’s invisible)
-Hands-on translation: turning past projects into stories and portfolio pieces that hiring managers in product & UX recognize and respond to
-Equity & power lens: helping you navigate bias, culture, and power so your transition isn’t just about skill gaps but about thriving in environments you belong in
-Practical experimentation: not just strategy talk, but concrete steps (portfolio tweaks, role pivots, skills, mindset work)
Whether you're diving into UX, navigating career shifts, or just need someone to bounce ideas off, I'm here to help! If you'd like concrete support on resumes, portfolio preparation, interview exercises or general interview prep, feel free to book a session.
Looking for more long-term support on research methodologies, career development, or navigating the complex landscape of tech? Book an intro call so we can see if we're a good fit!
