As part of my aim to gain an interdisciplinary skillset, I&#8217;ve contributed to a variety of research projects as well as worked at <strong>Nokia<\/strong> in <strong>Software QA <\/strong>and at <strong>EBSCO Information Services<\/strong> in <strong>Product Management<\/strong>.

In particular, I&#8217;m curious about user safety and empowerment, whether use of AI tools in work contexts or appropriate handling of data related to intimate areas of our lives such as dating or grief. With my experience with quantitative and qualitative research methods, <strong>I hope to continue learning about the impacts of technology in our lives and how interfaces can better promote user empowerment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-61df334d7d43fd360a5c64d85fc9d974 wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at some of my favorite projects using the menu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey!
