I’m a technologist, researcher, and artist thinking about the privacy and design of computational systems. I currently work at Mozilla Foundation as a researcher. Formerly I was a 2017-2018 Ford-Mozilla Open Web Fellow hosted at Human Rights Watch.
I’m a co-founder of tendernet, an intersectional feminist collective exploring critical and speculative design practices around AI.
My work interrogates the ways social platforms collect and monetize data about their users using opaque computational processes. I also explore the ways principles like privacy, consent, and transparency are applied on platforms.
With a master’s degree from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), my graduate research culminated in a thesis defense presentation and a blog where you can read about my creative work.
