Your favorite part of working at Bold Insight
The culture at Bold Insight is like nothing I have ever experienced. Words cannot describe the learning opportunities, support, generosity, respect and laughter that fills the office on a daily basis. My favorite part is simply having the opportunity to work with such amazing people.
In your spare time (or if you had spare time), you would absolutely do this:
I’d be sitting in a small venue listening to live music, preferably Amos Lee, Martin Sexton, Bob Schneider or any singer-songwriter.
How long have you been in the UX field?
5 years
Your favorite city in the world is...and why?
Chicago because it’s where my family and friends are.
Your ultimate celebrity dinner party guest list would include:
The entire cast of Impractical Jokers.
Long-term personal or professional goal?
Personal: I’d like to run one more marathon by the time I’m 50. And, do a triathlon with my mom and 2 daughters. Professional: I’d like to continue to enhance my skills and knowledge in this industry. I also want to be able to type as fast as Kate H!!!
Any other facts to share?
My laugh is loud and obnoxious!!! And, I can’t dance or sing (although deep down I think I can do both).

Human factors testing for OTC drugs and non-prescription medical devices
As the field of human factors continues to evolve, so must our approaches to testing and study design. While the FDA’s 2013 guidance laid the groundwork for study design and methodology, recent discussions and conference presentations have prompted a shift in how we approach OTC HF testing, leading to more comprehensive and realistic assessments of these products.
What the history of human factors tells us about the future of our industry
Look back at the rich history of human factors engineering, from its roots in anthropometry to the advanced field of ergonomics and beyond. These developments have shaped technologies and design, enhancing everyday life by making experiences safer and more intuitive.
