Elise O. is a Researcher | User Research in Biotechnology at Exponent. She is proficient in German. Colleagues describe her as "- I had the pleasure of working with Elise for approximately one year at Exponent where she worked within our Health Studies team with a specialty within our helpline task force. Elise quickly learned the skills needed for the role, particularly in managing and prepping devices, training participants of all ages to use the study devices, and following up with participants at various timepoints. The standout quality Elise displayed during her time was her calm and professional demeanor when faced against difficult (e.g., angry and/or frustrated) participants: She would handle each case in such a manner that calmed the participants down and come to a compromise--skills that she drew from her past work and research experiences. Elise worked well with all of our other team members (40+ people throughout the U.S.) and displayed excellent team player characteristics. Despite not being an engineer, Elise came into this role with such eagerness and enthusiasm that would easily translate over to her next role. For these reasons, I would highly recommend Elise to be part of your team!"
