Summary

I translate human-centered insights into actionable data. With a background in occupational therapy and education, I’ve helped diverse learners succeed using behavioral metrics, structured plans, and iterative experimentation. Now, I bring that same lens to data-driven decision-making in tech. I am adept at leveraging analytical skills and team collaboration to drive success in academic and therapy environments.
