I am a UX Researcher at Capital One, where I combine empirical methods with design thinking to create great user experiences. 

I earned my Ph.D. in sociology from Rutgers University and my B.A. in political science from Kenyon College. Before transitioning to UX, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Princeton University’s Office for Population Research. 

In my academic work, I studied the social ideas and assumptions that get embedded in medicine, especially reproductive healthcare. Currently, I’m writing a book manuscript with University of California Press that traces the contemporary idea of the “planned pregnancy” through U.S. public health policy, medical practice, and lived experience.
