A prior literature grad, I have several short stories published to my name. From student journalism to writing for Fortune 500 companies - it has been a journey of continuous learning as I sharpened my saw of editing skills, peer reviewing, and quality checks. More recently, I have curated, strategized, and managed content for the UXPA Boston website which serves 4500+ UX professionals of various levels.

 

As a UX practitioner, I have conducted literature reviews of seminal research topics. I have formulated questions for moderator guides, designed presentations and also led mini usability sessions, using attention-to-detail, content structuring and formatting, visual hierarchy, and writing skills.

Don't hesitate to contact me for a walkthrough of my writing from a user-experience lens.

Usability Evaluation Report

This mini usability report was created as part of a User Testing and Assessments class project. The challenge was to select a mopping tool, focus on a complex problem, and evaluate the product from the perspective of the chosen problem. Endometriosis is a disorder which significantly impacts women's lives, and has detrimental social, public health, and economic implications. I chose to measure the usability of a household tool from the perspective of someone suffering from this disorder.
