Curious about the Apprenticeship Program? Join me live this Thursday, Sept 18 ⏰


Hey Reader,

​

I know how tough it can feel to break into UX research when you don’t have that first big project to point to. You’ve got the skills, but without experience, it can feel like every door is harder to open.

That’s exactly why I started the UX Outloud Apprenticeship Program…and I’m so excited to bring it back this fall!

​

From October 1 through December 15, 2025, a small group of apprentices will get hands-on experience working with a real startup partner on a full research project from beginning to end.

​

Along the way, you'll:

​
âś… Take ownership of an end-to-end project that goes beyond theory

​
âś… Meet weekly with me for coaching and with the startup founder for stakeholder alignment

​
âś… Practice everything from scoping and planning to interviews, analysis, synthesis, prototyping, and co-design

​
âś… Deliver a final readout to a live audience of UX researchers

​
âś… Leave with a case study you can confidently showcase in your portfolio

​

​

I intentionally keep the cohort small—just 5 spots—so every apprentice gets meaningful ownership and coaching support.

​

Still not sure if this program is the right fit for you?

​
Come to the Info Session on Thursday, Sept 18 at 5:30 PM PT.

​

​
​During the session, I’ll share:

  • What the Apprenticeship includes
  • Who it’s best suited for (early-career UXRs and career changers)
  • How to apply
  • Plus, I’ll answer your questions live

I guide researchers in building a strong narrative and employing an 8-step strategy in starting their UXR careers. My speciality is constructing tailored transition strategies taking into account the experience you have to leverage and the niche that are targeting for your next role. I take a hands-on approach to revamping your professional materials including: 📢 A resume that emphasizes your work and organizational impact 📢 A LinkedIn profile that demonstrates your value to UX hiring managers and recruiters 📢 A UXR portfolio that details your strategic research approach and case studies that showcase your experience I also work as a Lead UX Researcher and UXR Manager at Meta - and my background happens to be in biology and healthcare. Take it from me, someone who doesn't have the most "traditional" UXR background, you can apply people research skills from any and every industry and niche to UX. It all comes down to creating a strong narrative and making your skillset crystal clear. If you're ready to stop applying to UXR roles endlessly online and actually gain traction landing interviews and job offers, apply to work with me at bit.ly/uxrcareeraccelerator!
