Bio
I am a Ph.D student at the University of Washington working with Professor Melanie Walsh on topics in cultural analytics. I research contemporary culture with both humanistic and computational methods. I think a lot about how aesthetic production and consumption is shaped by technologies and capitalism. Before starting my Ph.D, I worked as a data scientist in marketing analytics, and I studied English Literature, Mathematics, and Computer Science as part of the Honors Program at Swarthmore College. Feel free to reach out over email if you'd like to get in touch.
