Hi there,
🦋 I'm Sara, a UX Researcher with a passion for creating accessible and delightful user experiences. Armed with a PhD in Occupational Therapy and Rehabilitation, I've found my niche in helping (health)tech companies craft products that truly resonate with their users.
🎓 My journey to UX Research and Design wasn't exactly what I had in mind. While pursuing my Rehabilitation PhD, I felt the pressure to choose between returning to clinical work or becoming a university professor. But deep down, neither path felt like the perfect fit for me.
💡 Then, I stumbled upon UX and everything clicked into place. UX research perfectly aligned with my background as a trained qualitative and quantitative researcher. It offered me the opportunity to make a tangible impact on people's lives in a way that resonated with me deeply. What drew me even closer to UX was its unwavering focus on accessibility – a cause close to my heart and rooted in my background and passion.
👩👧👧 When I'm not immersed in UX, you'll likely find me soaking up quality time with my daughter, exploring new destinations, or mentoring graduate students in the rehab field who are navigating their way out of academia and clinics.
Let's create something amazing together! View My Resume
