I am a cultural and medical anthropologist who uses my training and experience with qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand and contextualize complex human-centered problems and then propose actionable solutions.

Currently I am working at the consulting firm Sopra Steria Next in Paris as a Senior Consultant, where I provide human-centered strategic design consulting across retail, public service and government, and healthcare sectors. I lead end-to-end research phases for complex projects, including multi-country ethnographic studies, and design tailored research methodologies such as user perception and evaluative testing frameworks. Working closely with cross-disciplinary teams of designers, researchers, and business analysts, I help tackle complex organizational and service challenges using qualitative and mixed methods including ethnography, in-depth interviews, literature reviews, and comparative analysis. I also contribute to proposal and bid writing, shaping research approaches and value propositions for prospective clients.

My academic research explored autism in adulthood in both the U.S. and France. My PhD dissertation (NYU, 2023) was an ethnographic analysis of l’Université Aspie-Friendly (The Aspie-Friendly University), an innovative project aimed at making the entire French public university system inclusive for students with autism spectrum conditions. The initiative is an official part of the French government’s National Autism Strategy. 

My research has been published in  Medical Anthropology, Somatosphere, Platypus, and in edited volumes.
