I am a PhD Student in Human-Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington, co-advised by Kate Starbird and  Benjamin Mako Hill. My research focuses on how online communities govern and are governed as they navigate disinformation, cyber-enabled influence operations, and related online harms. I am interested in both top-down dynamics – that is, governance by platforms, governments, and international bodies – as well as bottom-up dynamics, the myriad ways online communities experiment with and enact models of self-governance.

In addition to the CDSC, I am also affiliated with the [https://www.cip.uw.edu/ Center for an Informed Public], where I conduct research on disinformation targeting election integrity and conflict situations. 

In my free time, I play guitar in several Seattle bands.
