I specialize in integrating user-centric design principles to improve the usability, safety, and overall experience of complex systems. My role involves analyzing user behavior, conducting usability testing, and applying ergonomic principles to ensure our products and solutions are intuitive and effective. By bridging the gap between human capabilities and technological advancements, I create solutions that are both functional and seamlessly integrated into users' workflows, all while adhering to FDA regulations.

Functioned as a team member on a Trauma Product Development team. Assisted in designing and developing implants and associated instrumentation to treat injuries of the femur, conducted verification and validation activities, DHF planning, design for manufacturing efforts, and cadaver laboratories of these devices. Collaborated with engineers, product managers, surgeons, and vendors to ensure cost-effective and high-quality products. Assisted on Product Management efforts, such as project planning, quarterly report preparation, marketing literature formulation, and sales forecasting for a variety of products with various inventory demands. Utilized 3D modeling software, mechanical testing materials, and prototype shop resources, like 3D printed prototypes, to ensure mechanical strength and design properties of prototypes satisfied functional design requirements and specifications. Efforts fueled advancements in project timelines to ensure the launch of new products and systems in a timely matter.

Led and assisted on multiple studies that used motion capture software and wearable sensors to analyze human movement, balance and biological kinematics. Studies focused on fall and musculoskeletal injury prevention in healthy and clinical populations. Operated directly with researchers, physical/occupational therapists, and bioengineers in close collaboration to reach specified research goals.
