Behavioral Researcher
I design studies, analyze behavioral data, and translate findings into decisions that product teams can act on. Background in quantitative psychology — M.A. Hunter College, CUNY.
Selected work
Each study is documented from research question through recommendation — including the messy middle.
How do personality traits like intolerance of uncertainty and trait worry shape fear of crime — and does the cognitive pathway linking them work differently across ethnic groups?
Discovery research examining how Trinidadians navigate crime information and what they'd need from a real-time safety app — from behavioral baseline to product recommendations.
Does playing more make you feel better — or does it matter more why you play? A regression analysis of the Open Play dataset examining gaming value vs. playtime as predictors of mental wellbeing.
A self-initiated, pre-registered experience-sampling study testing whether how people appraise their screen time predicts wellbeing better than how much they use — with a working prototype and a validated R analysis pipeline.
About
I'm a mixed-methods UX researcher with an M.A. in Psychology from Hunter College, CUNY (GPA 3.96) and a first-class B.Sc. from the University of the West Indies. My training is in social and quantitative psychology — which means I know how to form a precise research question, design an instrument to answer it, and analyze the results rigorously.
My thesis was a 538-person survey study using regression and mediation analysis in SPSS to examine how psychological traits shape fear of crime across ethnic groups in Trinidad and Tobago. The most important finding wasn't the one I expected — and that's what makes it interesting.
I'm drawn to UX research because it applies the same toolkit — study design, behavioral data, mixed methods — to questions that directly shape what people experience. I'm particularly interested in how people engage with digital products, what drives their decisions, and how research can move organizations to act differently.
Outside of research, I'm deeply embedded in gaming and digital media culture — which informs how I think about user behavior, community dynamics, and engagement at companies building products people genuinely love.
Open to UX Researcher and Research Analyst roles. Based in Brooklyn, NY — open to remote.
