I see mentorship as a collaborative process—rooted in genuinely understanding your individual goals and challenges—and sharing insights that help you realize what you’re truly capable of. My goal is to be a reliable ally on your career journey.

After earning my PhD in neuroscience, I experienced challenges of transitioning from academia to industry. I developed practical strategies that I now use to guide students and postdocs as they:
- Identify transferrable skills
- Land their first corporate roles
- Navigate negotiations
- Adjust to corporate culture

During my 6 years of UX and human factors research experience at Bose and Apple, I've seen firsthand the challenges UX researchers face. Along the way, I've developed approaches to help:
- Communicate research values to stakeholders
- Regain clarity and a sense of purpose
- Navigate career transitions and layoffs
