I am a PhD candidate in Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, currently living in Berkeley, California. My dissertation ethnographically investigates the cultural significance of meditation apps, exploring how their design and use shapes the contemporary experience of health and wellbeing.

Prior to entering a PhD program, I worked as a research-focused User Experience Designer in the SF Bay Area, after earning a Master’s of Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University and an MA in Psychology from New York University.
