about me.
I'm a fourth-year PhD candidate at the University of Michigan in the School of Information, studying social media, human-ai interaction, & AI-mediated communication.
My research focuses on understanding how social media platforms and AI-mediated communication (AI-MC) tools such as large language models reshape interpersonal communication, influence social interactions, and impact self-perception in digital environments.
I'm advised by Dr. Nicole Ellison & Dr. Irene Pasquetto.

Before coming to the University of Michigan, I worked as a marketing director and SEO specialist for a cyber security company. During undergrad, I worked as a research assistant under Dr. Joshua Braun studying media manipulation of digital intermediaries.
I live in Ann Arbor with my dog Big Al.
