I am a social computing and HCI researcher who focuses on participatory visual culture as it intersects with questions of "problematic information" (misinformation, scams, propaganda, online hate, etc) and digital safety. I examine how these intersections play out -- hoping to find opportunities for making sociotechnical systems safer and more dignified for everyone.

When doing that, I often develop new methods for researchers and other information stakeholders (i.e. community leaders, digital volunteers, practioners) to safely and rigorously research and contend with these (highly visual) systems and their outputs.

I have led empirical case studies around religion, elections, and immigration in the US context -- and contributed visual and mixed methods research capacity to other studies.

I am in my third year of my PhD at University of Washington in the Centered for an Informed Public, advised by Dr. Kate Starbird. Recently, I interned at Microsoft Research, leading foundational research at the intersection of religion, technology, and digital safety under Dr. E. Glen Weyl.
