Program Manager, Design Research, Wikimedia Foundation

About me

I'm trained in applied economics, with a focus on causal inference techniques in microeconomics. I have experience working in and developing worker-owned businesses, and democratic management practices for those spaces.

My work

I'm the program manager for Design Research at the Wikimedia Foundation, where I oversee our design research program and research operations, and occasionally I conduct research too! My work has primarily focused on developing a truly global an multilingual research program, so that our research reflects the diverse and geographically distributed Wikimedia user base.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
