GET TO KNOW ME
I am a neuroscientist, researcher, consumer insights specialist, and self-taught home cook with a dual background in academia and industry.
Over the last 15 years, I have sought to better understand people through immersive research designed to uncover their needs, motivations, and behaviors.
I earned my Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Chicago and led global innovation, R&D, and marketing strategy projects at Unilever. Now, as an independent research consultant, I work with several Fortune 500 tech companies to develop, execute, and facilitate research programs and workshops.
I thrive at distilling complex data and research into engaging, digestible insights and enjoy communicating my work to diverse audiences.
My passions include reading spy novels, running, cooking, and cultivating unique dining opportunities. I was a finalist in the Chicago Urbanspace Challenge to find the next food hall chef, and appeared on WGNTV’s Lunchbreak to share a one-pot dish. Now, I host popup dinner parties featuring eclectic cuisines and teach virtual cooking classes at Kendall College.
I am curious, energetic, and creative in my business projects as well as in the kitchen. Reach out if you’d like to collaborate!
