About Me

Hello! I am a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information, under the supervision of Rohan Alexander. I study how people work with data!

More specifically, my dissertation research uses tools and methods from information scholarship to study data practices in interdisciplinary settings. While my dissertation research combines my interests in data practice and interdisciplinarity, I explore both topics individually in other, ongoing research collaborations. My academic work is informed by my professional experience as a data scientist in the public sector.

I developed and teach courses on sampling methods and data visualization, and have led workshops and invited talks on ‘Reading and Writing About Data’ and ‘Critical Data Science’.
