Speaking Inquiries
I am open to select speaking engagements focused on how products and systems succeed—or fail—at the intersection of user behavior, trust, and evidence-based decision-making in healthcare and other high-stakes environments.
I am especially interested in conversations around translating research into product strategy, AI and digital health adoption, and the role of evidence in shaping organizational and product decisions.

Selected Talks
Designing Around Member Value
Opening presentation delivered as part of a company-wide strategy session attended by 500+ cross-functional employees, focused on aligning teams around member-centered decision-making and product strategy.
Using Sensor-Captured Patient-Generated Data to Support Clinical Decision-Making in PTSD Therapy
Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction (CSCW) · 2024
Presented research on how sensor-captured patient-generated data can support clinical decision-making in PTSD therapy, with a focus on prolonged exposure treatment contexts. The work explored how behavioral signals outside the clinical environment can inform therapeutic understanding, while also addressing challenges of interpretation, trust, and clinical validity in high-stakes mental health care.
Leveling Up Your Research Democratization Strategy
DiscoConf · 2023
Presented a strategic framework for scaling research democratization through intentional enablement, operational guardrails, and cross-functional education. The session focused on how organizations can broaden access to research practices while maintaining rigor, trust, and decision-quality across teams.
