Portfolio
I am currently working alongside the Vision Design Group to build an online, asynchronous training for mental healthcare providers. In this role, I've developed prototypes by co-designing alongside community members, elicited feedback via usability testing, and launched the training in an outpatient clinic for pilot testing.

I worked with Fitbit, Inc. and a board of community stakeholders to test whether Fitbit with (or without) online therapeutic treatments could increase activity levels among sedentary patients experiencing depression (read our papers here and here). In this role, I managed a team of programmers to make a custom website to deliver our intervention and integrate this data with Fitbit data. I also presented on our research process at the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's annual conference.

I worked with Myriad Genetics to pilot GeneSight, a test that could help match patients to the best depression treatment for their genetic profile (read about it here). In this role, I managed a team of programmers who designed a custom website to collect clinical data for researchers, patients, and clinicians to access alongside their GeneSight results.

I worked with Giner, Inc., to pilot an at-home lithium test that could make a common drug for treating mood disorders easier to manage (read about it here). I explained the potential benefits of this medical tool to participants while underscoring the long approval process required for this tool to become available to the greater public to recruit participants as ethically as possible.

I worked with Music Technologies to pilot the SingFit app in a population of older adults. I liaised with the SingFit stakeholders, I set up the demo app on iPads, and collected usability data as we studied the participants' use of these tools after collecting baseline data on participants' cognitive strengths and weaknesses (read more about our results here).

I worked with the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center to help staff and launch their first online webchat feature to make services accessible to more people (read about the webchat here). I supervised fellow webchat staffers and helped improve the process and spoke publicly to spread awareness of this new feature.
|
I worked with Roca, Inc., to help design a simplified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) manual & flashcards to be used by paraprofessionals (read about it here and here). I produced mockups of each CBT skill and iteratively refined them with the team until we had a finalized prototype of the flashcards and posters now used by Roca, Inc.
