I'm a PhD student advised by Ken Holstein at Carnegie Mellon University's Human-Computer Interaction Institute. My work explores the power of everyday people to resist and work toward remediation of harmful algorithmic systems and their impacts.
Semantic Scholar Mastodon Twitter DBLP Research EthosI like to run & read for fun, but not simultaneously. My free time is spent watching musicals, eating ice cream, & visiting libraries. My favorite color is red, my favorite weaving technique is deflected doubleweave, & my favorite punctuation marks are the en dash & the interrobang.
