I'm a UX researcher and data science nerd with a decade of experience in human-centered design research, statistical data analysis, program evaluation, and project management in public health and civic tech.

I help local and state governments, public health agencies, startups, and civic tech groups learn user behavior insights through evidence-based research and build equity-focused, actionable data products—from maps and dashboards to case studies—so they can make informed and impactful decisions that improve the lives of their communities. I'm passionate about food systems, climate change, and sustainability.
