Research with range.

I'm a mixed-methods researcher with 10+ years building research programs that drive product strategy, GTM decisions, and business impact. I've led research across churn, adoption, retention, CSAT, and customer support, working with everyone from engineers to Chief Customer Officers.

My work spans global enterprise research at Asana, scalable research at quantilope (including a 0-to-1 product I led as PM), Fortune 500 engagements at LRW/Material (Google, Netflix, Sony, Peloton, Disney, HBO), and a consulting practice I founded and ran for four years.

I'm exploring research roles in B2B SaaS, enterprise technology, and consumer/entertainment. B.S. in Cognitive Neuroscience from Brown University.

Asana
B2B SaaS

My in-house chapter. After years on the agency and consulting side, I wanted to know what it felt like to live with the consequences of my own research. Asana is a B2B SaaS company building work management software for teams from startups to the Fortune 500. I joined a generalist research team that touched every part of the business — Product, Marketing, Sales, CX, Support — which meant I got to see how research actually moves a company, not just deliver insights and walk away.

The chance to work faster and smarter. quantilope is a research tech startup that compresses research timelines from 3 months down to 5 days through automation. After agency life, I was hungry to strip out the operational overhead and spend more time on the actual thinking. I ran somewhere between 50 and 100 projects a year for Fortune 100 clients like Chewy and Clorox, and got to wear a product manager hat to ship a 0-to-1 feature based on customer feedback nobody else had caught.

My own shop. What started as contract work through a neuro-focused market research firm — where I got my first real exposure to healthcare systems — turned into business development, then client acquisition, then my own consultancy. I built a team of 4 serving hospital chains, B2B services, and nonprofits. End-to-end research design, segmentation, persona development, campaign strategy, and C-suite advisory. Running a business taught me what no employer ever could about budgets, vendors, scope, and the difference between insight and revenue.

Agency, Team of 5

The brand expansion phase. After consulting work in Orlando, I wanted to work with the brands I grew up watching, listening to, and playing on. LRW (now Material) was the #1 market research agency at the time, and joining meant suddenly leading research for Google/YouTube, Netflix, Sony PlayStation, AT&T, Disney, HBO, Peloton, Mattel, Clorox. I led a team of 5 doing ad effectiveness, audience segmentation, and brand research across 30+ global markets. It taught me how to design research that holds up across cultures and how to land insights with senior client-side stakeholders.
Corps Member, 8th Grade Science Teacher
Teach For America
Hover to read more
Back to my hometown. After Brown, I joined the 2016 Orlando corps and taught 8th grade science in a Title I middle school. I genuinely loved teaching — the kids, the lesson design, the moments when something clicked. I struggled with the school system itself, which felt structurally limiting in ways that didn't match the impact I was looking to have. But I left with a district-level Hero Teacher of the Year award, a deep respect for what teachers actually do, and an even sharper conviction that I wanted to spend my career closer to the levers that shape big systems.
B.S. Cognitive Neuroscience

Where research first found me. I spent two years in Brown's Causality and Mind Lab partnered with a Rhodes Scholar studying infant cognition and causal reasoning. Watching how children come to understand the world — how they form models of cause and effect, how they decide what's true — gave me the building blocks for everything I think about humans now. The questions I ask in market research are still the same questions I asked about toddlers: what do they actually believe, why do they believe it, and what would it take to change their minds?
"Best Client Impact" Award
Company-wide award given by the CEO and President at quantilope, selected from over 400 employees for delivering research that drove measurable client outcomes.
4x "Report of the Quarter"
Recurring company-wide recognition at Asana for creating high-impact, innovative research reports that set the standard for the team.
Org-Wide AI Council Member
Selected for Asana's cross-functional AI Council for innovative use and forward-thinking approaches to AI on the market research team. Contributed strategic perspective on moving the business forward with AI.
"Hero Teacher of the Year"
District-level recognition during Teach For America for exemplary leadership and collaboration across the Science team, and for developing STEM after-school programs including SECME and computer club for 8th grade students. Contributed to 100% corps member retention across the Orlando region.
