Professional Summary:

My research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Personal Health Informatics, and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW). My research explores how data-driven ecosystems can support complex and often-changing health needs from individual, interpersonal, and socio-cultural levels. I am particularly interested in stigmatized health domains where individuals may be marginalized by the healthcare system and technology industry, such as women’s health and public health crises.
