Hi! I'm a PhD student at the Annenberg School for Communication, where I study platforms, political economy, and democracy.

I'm affiliated with the Center for Media, Technology, and Democracy, the Media Inequality & Change Center, the Center for Information Networks and Democracy, and the Computational Social Science Lab.

Prior to joining Annenberg I graduated from UC Berkeley with a B.S. in Business Administration (Highest Honors, Summa Cum Laude equivalent) and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (High Honors, Magna Cum Laude equivalent).
