Thank you so much to the marvelous Cammie Shibata for giving an excellent guest lecture in our University of Southern California Masters of Applied Psychology UXR course this evening! Cammie gave a highly engaging presentation of her previous international research work to help the students learn about the UXR interview process and how to prepare. She then taught us a ton about doing Integrity Research and research with integrity. We were so lucky to get to learn from you, Cammie! Hiring managers in NYC, snap Cammie up while she's on the market and thank me later :) #uxresearch #userexperience #uxr #integrityresearch

Huge thanks to Dr. Kathleen Marker and Kirstin Townsend for joining us in Psyc 505: Research Methods in Applied Psychology tonight! We loved hearing about Dr. Marker's love for qualitative research and her fascinating stories of using it to drive business and organizational impact. We also loved learning first-hand about the Recollective research platform from Kirstin and I can't wait to see what the students come up with for their first qualitative study using these super cool tools!

I'm hosting a session in June that will be focused on supporting women and nonbinary folks who are early career in UXR or Data Science. We'll be chatting about navigating careers, developing and owning a career strategy and development plan, the many mistakes I've made, and lessons learned. I've received feedback over time that one of my strengths is helping people identify their strengths and leverage them in their work while setting healthy boundaries so they can work sustainably, so I'm going to see if I can bring that to a wider group with this session. If you're interested in joining, please fill out this super brief form and I'll add you to the invite list: https://lnkd.in/g57tKVycNote: I've previously done sessions on breaking into UXR; this is not that. I'll be focused on content and activities for folks who've held a UXR or DS role for 6+ months - 3 years (if there's enough interest for 3-5 years, I'll add a cohort). The job market for career transitioners is extremely tough and I have zero magic to offer there and don't want to bolster anyone with false hope that a secret trick or resume hack is going to move the needle. #uxresearch #uxresearchcareers #datascience #datasciencecareers #womenintech
