Hi there! My name is Stephanie, and I am a UX Researcher at Verizon Connect.

I work on a global cross functional team supporting Reveal Video, a fleet management tool for tracking dangerous driving behaviors through dash cams and artificial intelligence. While my professional title is UX Researcher, I consider myself at my core to be a storyteller. I love learning about peoples’ complex relationships with technology and molding that information into a fluid narrative that puts people’s needs at the forefront.

I have been fascinated with user-centered design since undergrad, in which I studied Computational Media at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My degree taught me about the harmony between programming and design, but I still desperately wanted to learn more about the “why” in design.

This curiosity led me to continue my education at Georgia Tech, where I received my masters studying Human Computer Interaction. My coursework solidified my passion for UX research and spring-boarded me into an internship and full time employment with Verizon Connect.

My true passion lies in research; in uncovering the means by which we can build usable and meaningful technology that is, first and foremost, human.
