People-centered strategist
with a sunny perspective.
Hi, I'm Sunny — a UX researcher and product strategist who has spent the last several years studying how people experience complex systems, from clinical environments to university platforms to the classroom.
My path has taken me through neuroscience research, healthcare, and teaching — three fields that share a core preoccupation with human complexity. Each shaped how I think about what people actually need versus what institutions assume they need. That gap is usually where the most interesting work happens.
I've lived across two countries, which gave me an early appreciation for how much context shapes experience. That cross-cultural perspective shows up in my research: I take seriously that the same system can feel completely different depending on where you're standing in it.
How I work
I'm mixed-methods by default — qualitative when I need to understand why, quantitative when I need to understand how many or how often. I've coordinated NIH-funded clinical studies using REDCap and SPSS, run usability sessions with cognitive walkthroughs and reaction cards, and turned 10,000-row Excel datasets into product decisions.
I believe strategy is storytelling. The most technically correct insight fails if it can't move people. So I invest as much in synthesis and communication as I do in data collection — whether that means a visual poster for Harvard Psychiatry Research Day or a roadmap presentation for a university engineering team.
Currently
I'm in a master's program focused on strategy and product development, building on my background in neuroscience and human systems. I'm actively looking for UX research and PM roles — especially at the intersection of health, technology, and education, though I'm genuinely open. The best outcomes come from following the question, not the industry.
Every challenge looks different depending on where you stand.

I'd love to hear what you're working on. I'm open to full-time roles, consulting engagements, and research collaborations.
