Experienced researcher specialised in social media listening, UX and market research.
I've trained as a mixed-methods marketing and consumer researcher, but as of recently have moved into the UX field where I thought I'd apply my skills to CX and UX research. While this has been the case, my skills have also allowed me to work as a customer success associate, copywriter and product marketer. I'm proactive, dependable, self-driven and I love a challenge! While I'm now temporarily based in Poland (Europe), my 10+ years of experience has been gained across the UK and Ireland, with much of the work focused on the US market.

Projects

Customer Ops Tracker

I've designed, helped build and managed a tracker for our customer operations team. We were drowning in customer sign ups, requests, previews, and ongoing comms. The whole process was a mess. By pulling everything into a unified tracker, we were able to reduce unanswered emails to zero, to enhance team collaboration by having a single source of truth, cut down on SLAs and generally improve the customer experience with us. This is just one of many projects I've been involved in over the years.See More
