• Deliver compelling presentations and reports that bring user stories and data to life for diverse audiences, including executive leadership.
• Keep abreast of industry trends, usability standards, and guidelines in healthcare UX and human factors.

• Experience conducting research in clinical environments or with healthcare professionals and patients.
• Skilled in research tools (e.g., Dovetail, User Zoom, Qualtrics, Lookback) and able to manage multiple research projects.
