I am a rising fourth year at Northeastern studying Business and Communications with a concentration in marketing. After taking Dr. Welles Social Networks course, I became fascinated with the idea of how researchers can track the connections between social media users by analyzing their past movements. I am particularly interested in how we can use communication theory to understand the connections between certain social media users and why some users hold more power than others. I learned quite a bit about this working on Political Efficacy for Youth on Twitter project, and have continued to learn about youth activism on TikTok and its unique networks. I hope that by researching, we can discover which users are receiving more attention in social networks in order to ultimately help marginalized groups receive equal amounts of attention.

Outside of school, you will most likely find me in the kitchen testing out a new recipe as I love to bake or cook whenever I have the time. My favorite thing about the CoMM Lab has been how much I have learned by stepping out of my comfort zone; my knowledge of how to help marginalized communities on social media and attention networks has increased significantly.
