I turn consumer, behavioral, and subscription data into strategy — building the bridge between what the data says and what people actually feel. Currently doing that at BetterHelp across 51 markets and an international launch.

I'm a Marketing and Business Analytics graduate from the University of San Diego, working as a Market and Consumer Research Insights Analyst at BetterHelp — the largest online therapy platform, with 4M+ members. I turn subscription, behavioral, and social listening data into research systems that other teams actually reuse.
Growing up in rural North Idaho as the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants who built their nail salon from the ground up, I watched my parents earn trust with every customer — often without a shared language. That taught me business is really about understanding what people value, and I carry it into every project I take on.
What I'm after is the why — why people choose, stay, leave, or fall in love with a brand. That's the question underneath every framework I've built, and it's what draws me to consumer insights work.
As BetterHelp's first consumer insights analyst intern, I'm embedded across Growth, Performance, Brand, Paid Social, and International — with end-to-end ownership to scope my own research. These are the three systems I built and shipped.
Turned unstructured post-launch Looker data into a centralized, adaptable research strategy for BetterHelp's nationwide insurance rollout — layering coverage status, insurance literacy, and decision friction across 51 markets, segmented by state, consumer type, and funnel stage.
First analyst on BetterHelp's Brazil launch (Jan 2027). Built a self-updating market and consumer research repository spanning SEO, Paid Social, Influencer, Brand/Creative, YouTube, and Audio — now the reusable template for future country expansions.
Designed a system centralizing BetterHelp's AI guidelines, brand book, strategies, and Looker dashboards into one prioritized, searchable environment in Motion — giving marketers a single place to make decisions instead of hunting across tools.
"I loved having Zadie on my team at USD. She has a natural knack for marketing, social media and analytics, but what really sets her apart is her initiative; she doesn't just do the work, she looks for ways to make it better. She was a joy to supervise and a wonderful presence in our office. "

Built logistic regression models to isolate what drives web traffic from TV advertising — analyzing ad placement, channel performance, and time-of-day effectiveness. Compared full vs. reduced models to assess predictive power of creative vs. placement variables.
Built a predictive churn model segmented by contract type and demographics. Modeled CLV and retention incentive scenarios to estimate profitability impact — balancing retention costs against predictive targeting precision.
Applied hierarchical clustering validated via elbow/BIC methods to surface 3 distinct consumer segments. Ran ANOVA to confirm statistical differences, then translated clusters into personas and market entry positioning.
Led full-cycle consumer behavior analysis — cleaning and transforming datasets in R and SQL, building 22+ visualizations including heatmaps and decision trees to surface behavioral patterns influencing purchasing likelihood.
Designed original primary research via Qualtrics to analyze male consumers' awareness, product perceptions, endorsement impact, and purchase barriers. Built Tableau dashboards and translated findings into influencer strategy and brand positioning recommendations.
Developed a Brazilian market expansion strategy for GrabBike, evaluating cultural, economic, and behavioral adoption factors to build a localization strategy and consumer-led positioning for new geographies.
I believe analytics and humanity belong in the same room. My goal is to build work that is analytically strong, culturally aware, emotionally intelligent — and actually useful. Not dashboards that just report, but insights that move people and inform strategy that sticks.
I'm actively looking for full-time market research and consumer insights roles. Always happy to talk marketing analytics, subscription and wellness data, creative strategy, audio and creator platforms — really, any project where data gets to feel a little more human.
Roles where data, culture, and creativity get to live together — teams that take consumer understanding seriously and believe insight should drive strategy all the way through.
