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 think a lot about fostering visual research and expertise in increasingly hostile sociotechnical systems, and how to increase safety, dignity, and literacy for users, researchers, and practitioners navigating this evolving landscape. I do so by constructing empirically informed frameworks as well as designing methodologies and tools.

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Washington in the Center for an Informed Public, advised by Dr. Kate Starbird. I am fortunate to be supported by an NSF Fellowship.

I am also a 2x Microsoft Research intern, leading work at the intersection of religion and digital safety. On the side, I am a founding partner in the research consultancy, KTLN, where I lend my computational 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.
