I am a social science researcher with 3 years of experience. Currently, I'm working on my first publication that explores the impact of AI on health disparities. My skills lie in literature reviews, research design, data visualization using R and SPSS Statistics, and presenting findings in a comprehensive manner. At Georgia State University, I designed and implemented an age-friendly research study. My efforts led to securing funding from GSU’s Gerontology Institute, further illustrating my capacity to manage projects effectively.In addition to this, I was part of SHAPE JOY—a study to nurture happiness in children through contemplative parenting practices. With SHAPE JOY, I managed participant recruitment, scheduling, and improved technology practices for research protocols using tools like Qualtrics, Excel, SPSS, and WebEx.My expertise isn't limited to academia; I've also excelled in the service industry as a fine dining server, most recently at Staplehouse, a Michelin Star restaurant. This role enhanced my skills in customer service, task analysis, and ability to manage multiple customer requests.Moreover, I've demonstrated competence in web design and user interface design during my stint at Dematic where I designed their Supplier Diversity webpage using Figma. I have also supported strategic planning initiatives by conducting research and data analysis.I am always looking for opportunities to use my diverse skill set to contribute meaningfully towards research that can shape our future cities, spaces, and social environments intelligently and inclusively.I'm excited to contribute impactful insights to UX research and beyond!
