I am a computational social scientist studying how to make the internet safer. I primarily conduct empirical research to conceptualize and measure harm, which allows foundational technologies to enable effective harm detection and mitigation at scale. I employ both qualitative and quantitative methods in my research to inform strategic product execution and policy development, as well as to identify ways to minimize violations such as CSAM, violence, and terrorist propaganda.

My academic research is published at premier academic venues such as the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems and the ACM Conference on Computer-Supported Cooperative Work and Social Computing (CSCW). I regularly serve as chair on the program committees and organizing committees for these venues.

I earned my Ph.D. in Information Science from the University of Colorado Boulder. I also have broader research interests in online communities, social media, social computing, and human-computer interaction (HCI).
