• Deliver timely, actionable research findings to key stakeholders, communicating insights in clear, compelling, and persuasive ways.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that research insights are effectively incorporated into product development and strategy.

• Extensive experience with a broad range of user research methodologies, including interviews, usability studies, surveys, diary studies, and competitive analysis.
• Strong proficiency in both qualitative and quantitative research methods, with a demonstrated ability to synthesize and analyze data from diverse sources to inform critical product and business decisions.
