About

Hi there,

I'm Laura.


I specialize in qualitative research, assessing user needs and developing effective, collaborative technologies.

 

I’m driven by my passion to combine interpersonal communication, usability and human advocacy in order to assist diverse populations.


I'm looking for a new opportunity where I can continue advocating for the user as well as sharpening my research skills.


When not at work, I enjoy being a goofball with my redheaded niece, traveling to international destinations and snuggling with
my feline sidekicks, Madison and George.

What I love about being a researcher:

  • Facilitating studies.

  • Building rapport with diverse populations.

  • Uncovering gaps between how people behave and how they report out on their experiences.

  • Improving experiences to increase user satisfaction and delight.

  • Being a change agent through teaching and training.


What I'm searching for:

  • Seeing the impact of my work through an end-to-end project lifecycle.

  • Collaborating with a diverse, multi-disciplinary team with the drive for excellence.

  • Working both autonomously and collaboratively based on project needs.

  • Sharing my passion for user-centered design through teaching and mentoring.

  • A positive and inspirational environment that encourages new approaches.
