With insights derived from my dissertation studies, I envision creating a business plan that closely interacts with users and consumers, offering them products that simplify and enhance their parenting and educating experiences. The focus will be on ensuring that these offerings are not only user-friendly but also grounded in evidence-based practices. My rigorous training in scientific exploration has solidified my analytical abilities, guiding my approach towards collecting data, testing prototypes, and continually iterating to ensure the highest quality. It is this symbiotic relationship between research and real-world applications that I am excited to champion in the future.
