I'm a PhD student at the University of Washington's iSchool, where I investigate how digital platforms are reshaping the ways people consume and share information. My most recent research concerns misinformation on social media, and whether adding context can successfully mitigate its spread. I am broadly interested in content moderation, platform governance, information diffusion, and causal inference. I am advised by Martin Saveski, and previously received my BA in statistics from Northwestern University.
Outside of research, I spend time with my dog, drink boba with my fiancé, and chat with friends and family. I might like chatting with you too, so feel free to drop me an email if you think our research interests are aligned, or you're curious to hear more about my work :)
