About Sara Gabriele
UX Research Manager at Coursera
I’m Sara - a UX research lead passionate about helping people cultivate fulfillment, joy and growth in their careers.My own career path has been a windy road, and that’s one of the reasons I love supporting others on their journeys. I started out my career in a less than ideal role as a Hiring Rotation Associate at Google. After about 6 months of realizing this role was the wrong fit, I made an internal transfer and became the first UXR at Google Health. While I was at Google Health, I had the opportunity to work on some fascinating projects that included optimizing the user experience of an anxiety disorder self-assessment tool, building an AI-powered cancer detection diagnostic software, and internationalizing a diabetic retinopathy detection device. After about 4 years, my UX team had grown from a team of 3 to a team of ~70 and I was ready to make a change. I’ve always been inspired by democratizing access to world class education, and this led me to Coursera where I now lead a team of researchers who work on advancing access to education worldwide.
