I am a PhD student advised by Dr. Carl DiSalvo in Human Centered Computing at Georgia Tech’s School of Interactive Computing. My current research focuses on institutional and community eviction data. I study how data acts as infrastructure for institutions and governments that coordinate their work. I also study how data can be used to support and build community power through tenant organizing.
I hold an MFA in Transdisciplinary Design from Parsons School of Design, and a Bachelors in Management of Information Systems from the University of Notre Dame. Previously, I worked as a digital designer and digital strategist and continue to practice freelance. Download CV
