I am a social computing and HCI researcher who focuses on participatory visual culture as it intersects with questions of information disorder/problematic information (misinformation, scams, propaganda, online hate, etc) and digital safety. I have case studies in religion, elections, and immigration.

I hope by examining these interactions to find opportunities for making sociotechnical systems safer and more dignified for everyone and open additional pathways to participation, literacy, and accountability within them. This often leads me to develop methods for researchers and practioners to safely and rigorously contend with difficult visual content.

I am a third year PhD student at the University of Washington in the Centered for an Informed Public, advised by Dr. Kate Starbird. I am also a 2x Microsoft Research intern, leading work at the intersection of religion, technology, and digital safety. On the side, I am a founding partner in the research consultancy, KTLN, where I lend my computational methodologies and information disorder expertise to challenges in environmental justice.

You can most find me on email or LinkedIn! Or being a nerd at a natural wine bar.
