I am an Assistant Professor at [https://ascor.uva.nl/ the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR)] at the University of Amsterdam. Academically speaking, I am interested in questions on digital inequality, resistance, and agency in digitally mediated labor environments, particularly the gig economy. I recently finished my PhD at Northwestern University, under supervision of Dr. Aaron Shaw and Dr. Eszter Hargittai. You can find my dissertation, entitled “Chasing the Ideal and Making It Work: Pursuing Employment in the Remote Gig Economy,” is available [https://www.proquest.com/openview/235ea26168ffa11c8765915e8a247f60/1?pq-origsite=gscholar&cbl=18750&diss=y here]. 

Outside academia, I love (cold water) swimming and being outdoors + active in all kinds of ways. I also get a lot of energy from organizing two cultural festivals in the Netherlands. At one, I curate the Arts & Science program, which bridges two of my passions.
