Welcome!

Hi, I’m Theresa – A Senior UX Research Leader with 12+ Years of Experience

 

Research found me in 2013—and I’ve never looked back.

Back then, I was on a pre-med path, convinced I had my life planned down to a tee: Medical school, Emergency Medicine speciality, and boom—#lifegoals. But life had other plans. While taking night classes to complete my science prerequisites, I picked up a role as a Research Coordinator to help pay for tuition. That role was meant to be temporary. Instead, it became transformational.

 

I discovered that research isn’t just about data—it's about impact. It’s how businesses uncover human needs, solve real-world problems, and shape experiences that matter. I quickly realized that the sense of purpose I thought I’d find in medicine, I had already found in Research.

 

Since then, I’ve spent the last 12+ years growing into a strategic UX Research leader—guiding teams, elevating research practices, and influencing product direction at scale. From scrappy startup environments to global enterprise teams, I’ve led initiatives across B2B and B2C, mid-market to Fortune 500, building strong cross-functional partnerships along the way.

 

Today, I help companies create user-centered experiences that drive business results—and I’m just getting started.
