I am pursuing a PhD in Human-Centered Computing at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. My research sits at the intersection of Health Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). I am also interested in research methods. 

I am interested in designing technologies that support individuals in engaging with their health and well-being. My research also focuses on digital health disparities (i.e., individuals who experience systemic obstacles to technology use), including the privacy and security implications of health apps for managing personal health information (PHI). 

Before pursuing my PhD, I worked as a software engineer, collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to deliver technology solutions for startups and multinational organizations. I combine multi-method research approaches and design to understand user needs and leverage the insights to create the best technology outcomes and solve wicked problems.
