I also serve as a User Experience Researcher for American Plant Exchange. In this position, I conduct mixed-methods research to generate actionable insights to improve user experience.

I am in charge of bringing in industry projects, conducting user experience research, and managing the web page. For more information click here. Recently, I leveraged the help of the academy to further research efforts with American Plant Exchange. This effort resulted in a proceeding paper for the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society.
