Hi! I’m a second-year PhD student at Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. I work with Katharina Reinecke. I aim to study how people from diverse backgrounds view unintended consequences of technologies. My current focus is to build new tools to support researchers and practitioners to understand the existing bias at scale and leverage the crowd's wisdom to anticipate potential unintended consequences. I am also interested in data visualization, cross-culture usability of technology and HCI.

I spent four wonderful years at Macalester College, where I worked with Shilad Sen to visualize Wikipedia articles as maps. Originally intending to study politics, I became more interested how I could use data to visualize ever-changing information in the complex global community.
