Welcome to my website. I am a ux researcher trained in ethnography who loves data and researching process and data lifecycles.
I am a systems, big-picture thinker. I currently work with in safety. But my research interests span a range of topics in civic and government tech, and political communication. I have studied marketers and elections in Colombia, cities and play in the United States, climate change digital communication and government APIs.
I earned a PhD in Anthropology from Rice University in 2013. I was in academia for a bit, but left to apply ethnographic theory and practice to solve complex problems. I also apply what I learned researching strategic communication to successfully partner with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to carry projects forward.
I really enjoy working with people who have other areas of expertise and whose brains are wired differently than mine and learning from them.
