I am a second-year Ph.D student at Northeastern University studying under Dr. Michael Ann DeVito in the SEALab (Sociotechnical Equity and Agency Lab). My main research centers around the critique and development of sociotechnical systems for marginalized communities (primarily transfems). My primary research methods at the moment are qualitative, specifically from a constructivist grounded theory perspective. Some of my other interests include the following:

• - Social Computing: How can we design information sharing systems that value diverse ways of knowing and the breadth of the human experience, while acknowledging the impacts of systemic marginalization on the knower?
• - Queer HCI: Information Sharing among transfems is
• - Data Visualization: How can people create visualizations that convey their needs and encourage
• - Web Technologies: How does information move throughout communities and how can we create sociotechnical systems that facilitate this in unique contexts?

If you are interested in collaborating with me based on any of these interests, don't hesitate to email me!

I completed my undergraduate studies at UNC Charlotte with a B.A. in Computer Science and a specific focus on human-computer interaction. Outside of designing sociotechnical systems, I have completed work in the realm of data vis with Dr. Kyoung-Hee Kim and Dr. Jing Yang.

In my free time I enjoy running, programming, playing violin, and collecting records from a wide variety of time periods and genres. I am a huge fan of Bob Dylan, Björk, music from the romantic era, and my hometown heroes, Wednesday <3. I also run a Youtube channel where I make videos that are sometimes related to these interests.
