UX Researcher

I’m a Senior UX Researcher at Instagram. I currently lead research for Instagram’s Equity team in its quest to ensure people from underserved communities feel welcomed, supported and empowered on the platform and in their everyday lives. I use a variety of advanced quantitative and qualitative research methods to understand user need and to support product teams in building equitable products. My work draws from my prior academic and non-profit research experience in racial inequity to drive strategy decisions across the company. I also engage external stakeholders in conversations about how to address inequities in research and product development processes.

Interests
