You mention that she is a UX Researcher. Would you describe her strengths be artistic, behavioral physiological, or programming technical.

It sounds a bit like her strengths are in the first two areas but you want to help her get a job in the third.

Would that be a fair conclusion?

She's studying to be a UX researcher but isn't one yet. I'd say her strengths are more programming technical. She likes processes and learning tools and technology. She's less interested in the behavioral part of UX research and more into analyzing data and building tools to analyze user interactions. But ideally she'd like to design UIs and not just study users.

Unfortunately, this shows in her attempts to get a job in the field of UX where she hasn't had much luck as her profile doesn't really fit what they're looking for.
