My mission
I watch the struggle people endure to break into or move forward in their research careers. I was the same.
I struggled to try to break into user research. After acquiring my MA in Psychology, and despite finishing the UX class at General Assembly, I barely had a grasp on what user research was and how it was supposed to be done. I read as many books and articles as possible and completed my own projects to create a portfolio, all while working to stay afloat. I applied to over 67 jobs until I was fortunate enough to land a UX research internship in NYC.
I was broke and exhausted but finally got my foot in the door. With that internship, I started my UX research career, and have never looked back. I have been so incredibly lucky to meet amazing mentors along the way and engage with exciting opportunities.
For that very reason, I want to make user research as accessible as possible, and to provide a space for people to learn about the field. Yes, I want to provide theory, but, most importantly, I want to provide people with practical experience and knowledge, at the most affordable price.
I have many upcoming plans in my head, but I do hope this platform enables you to learn and grow as a user researcher and to never stop chasing your dreams.
