I am a public interest technologist and law student exploring the intersection of technology, democracy, and law. I am currently a JD candidate at Stanford Law School and a PhD candidate at the UC Berkeley School of Information.
My ongoing dissertation work examines how platform governance decisions along with technical and policy choices of other actors in the election information ecosystem are shaping today’s online civic infrastructure and trust in democratic processes. Other research interests include algorithmic auditing, U.S. technology policy, and research ethics for computer science.
I am currently working with the Stanford Internet Observatory as a graduate research assistant. Previously, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing teams at ACLU NorCal , Plaintext Group , Wellesley College Cred Lab , MIT Election Data and Science Lab , and the U.S. Census Bureau . I have a BA in Computer Science and Chinese Language & Culture from Wellesley College.
