  Curriculum UX Researcher Team Lead

  In my role as Lead UX Researcher at the University of Toronto Scarborough, I championed student access to valuable research experiences in biology fields by designing engaging CUREs. Using a user-centered approach, I led a team through comprehensive research, from in-depth interviews/surveys to focus groups, to understand user needs. This data fueled the design of interactive learning experiences that fostered foundational research skills. My passion for user experience is evident in my first-authored research paper advocating for CUREs and the vital role of design in education. Show less
