I am a second-year PhD student in the Human and Social Dimensions of Science and Technology (HSD) program at Arizona State University and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. My research interests center on promoting collective and individual sovereignty over health data, especially by learning from grassroots health justice organizations that seek to promote self-determination and bodily autonomy. I am also interested in technology co-design, critical technical design, and future-thinking methods that bring designers together with communities to question power structures in health data.

 

Prior to moving to Arizona in August 2022, I worked with the FACET Lab at University of Pittsburgh and with the Center for Integrative Research in the Computing and Learning Sciences (CIRCLS) as a Staff Researcher and Broader Impacts Coordinator. While there, I organized working groups and coordinate projects related to social dimensions of Artificial Intelligence and Educational Technology.

I hold  B.S. in Cognitive Neuroscience (Magna Cum Laude) from Drexel University and am also a professional dancer.​
