I’m a final-year PhD Candidate in Informatics at the University of California, Irvine, where I work with Dr. Yunan Chen in the Health and Information Lab.

I conduct research at the intersection of human-computer interaction, computer-supported cooperative work, and health informatics. I take a sociotechnical approach to understanding data practices and technology use, with a focus on populations with complex health and social needs. My dissertation research examines how people experiencing housing insecurity manage everyday life while contending with stigma and fragmented infrastructures of support.

Previously, I completed my M.S. and B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, where I spent a lot of time in the HCIL. Outside of research, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and spoiling my cat.
