As a project director

For the past 6 years I worked at HopeLab (hopelab.org) a non-profit in Redwood City, CA. I was responsible for the coordination of research efforts at HopeLab, including scheduling focus groups and usability studies, managing data, and ensuring that HopeLab’s research projects ran smoothly and effectively.

I was also responsible for adapting and translating HopeLab study documentation and interactive technology interventions for the Spanish-speaking population.

I played a key role in the formative research and development of HopeLab’s first product, the Re-Mission video game for teens and young adults with cancer. Ialso provided leadership in the management of the 34-site Re-Mission Outcomes Study to evaluate the efficacy of the game. Results of this research were published in August 2008 in the medical journal Pediatrics .
