I'm a PhD-trained researcher and program manager who makes the complex clear.

I've led highly-rated teaching teams at Stanford University, built a $300k cross-disciplinary graduate program at Rutgers University, cut production costs at General Motors, and published original research with Oxford University Press. In all of my work, strategic analysis and an ability to clarify complex issues is at the center.

Stanford Philosophy + Literature

Issue

The Stanford Philosophy + Literature program needed new development to maintain its stellar reputation, accelerate student professionalization, and attract new majors.

Action

Designed and implemented 6 unique 10-week learning experiences that trained students in critical thinking, research methods, and clear communication. Managed 6 instructional assistants in tactical execution.

Impact

Achieved an average CSAT score of 96%, with senior students progressing to Silicon Valley startups and prestigious graduate programs in philosophy, writing, and law.

Rutgers Graduate Writing

Issue

Rutgers University needed to support its PhD students in securing grants, conference presentations, and publications. The University's reputation as a top-tier research institution depends on PhD student professionalization and success.

Action

Enhanced graduate writing program products, conducted roadshow to assess product viability and secure senior leadership buy-in, and devised and implemented GTM strategy to roll out enhanced products across the University. Managed a team of 3 in tactical execution.

Impact

Increased PhD student enrollment in graduate writing program by 68% and achieved program-wide, 42-course average CSAT score of 91%.

Tech Fleet Web App

Issue

Tech Fleet client needs insights on product-market fit, strategy, and design for a web app idea.

Action

Drive product strategy, project roadmap, research plan, client communication and 20-person cross-functional team alignment.

Impact

In progress.

Aesthetics Research

Issue

Aesthetic experience plays an important role in everyday human life. Yet its value is often elusive and in need of clarification.

Action

Analyzed conceptual data in 250+ articles, synthesized key information and insights, identified gaps in existing research, and developed solutions to fill these gaps.

Impact

Presented key research findings at 12 professional conferences and published solo-authored reports in 2 peer-reviewed journals, an Oxford University Press collection, and a professional review journal. Reached wider audience by publishing simplified findings with Oxford University Press's blog.
