I am a researcher with a background in journalism and tech policy, studying how emerging technologies affect the practice and business of journalism. I lead the Platforms and Publishers project at Columbia University's Tow Center for Digital Journalism. Prior this role, I worked for Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy, the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, and the Our Data Bodies project. Thanks to funding from the Marshall Scholarship, I was able to pursue two master's degrees in the United Kingdom, at the LSE and Cardiff University, in critical data studies and computational journalism, respectively. Before that, I pursued undergraduate degrees in journalism and global studies as a first-generation college student at Lehigh University.
