EDUCATION

B.S. & M.S. Information Science


UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO, BOULDER
I am a 2nd yr MS student pursuing a degree in Information Science. In my B.S., I had minors in Creative Technology and Design and Philosophy.
​In my MS I am additionally receiving a certificate in Digital Humanities. My thesis is about  Black experiences on TikTok.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Ethics & Technology


In fall '20, I studied the ethical effects of social media and the following summer I focused on content moderation on Tik Tok; I have handled data on over 300 participants and have hands-on experience writing interview and survey questions and analyzing that data, in addition other administrative work like IRB submission.
JOB HISTORY

The Road So Far...


I pride myself on my ability to rotate industries- a benefit of my degrees. 
I am currently employed full-time as the Data & Content Strategic Manager at Insivia, a global consulting agency for a myriad of SaaS businesses.
I hope to move into a researching role at a think tank where I can study injustices in tech and become a research scientist full time. 

NOW & IN THE FUTURE

What's to Come

I would like to find the best application of my degrees in Information Science that combines well with my experience in philosophy and creative tech and design. I am fascinated by artificial intelligence and machine learning development and would like to be involved with a company that allows me to explore those interests and expand my abilities. I believe the next vocational step for me is in user experience. UX research & design would allow me to explore my interests in ethical tech while mirroring my hard skills in data analysis and design.

Stampede to Success

Peer Mentor

Becoming a leader for young students in my major was a massive goal for me. In my first two years in college, there was not an advisor for my major, so I was eager to become a Peer Mentor when the position was offered to me. I provided leadership,  class assistance, and resources. With one partner, we lead a group of three students in different majors to ensure their best successes in their next three to four years of college. It's a hard time! We've all ben there, and being a resource for some amazing students was an honor.
