Provided moderation, note-taking, and quantitative/qualitative data analysis services for a benchmarking usability study (N=300 US participants) and a VR usability study (N=40) for a social media company.

Downers Grove, Illinois, United States

I conducted human factors formative and validation studies for a variety of safety-critical medical devices according to IEC 62366, ISO 14971, and FDA HFE/UE guidances for medical devices and combination products. I also contributed to a variety of user experience studies in fields including but not limited to consumer products, commercial-use products, and media technologies.

Chicago, Illinois, United States

As an intern at Human Factors, Research, and Development (HFR&D), I contributed to a variety of human factors formative and usability studies, research proposals, and internal projects. Most notably, I served as an analyst and report writer for a two-week validation study for a pen-injector needle, and I conducted a gap analysis of the human factors file for a device currently on the EU market beginning the FDA HF regulatory process.

Bala-Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, United States

I facilitated formative and validation human factors testing for medical devices and combination products. I also assisted in the development of protocols, oversaw participant recruitment, and synthesized and interpreted results for reporting to clients. I was also a member-in-training for the Core Institutional Review Board.
