I am a third year PhD student working with Dr. Brooke Foucault Welles. My interest cover online hate speech and leadership in teams. I am currently leading a project on how hate speech impacts entire communities. I believe that studying vicarious victimization, can better help us understand the harm of hate speech and how community based interventions can reduce it’s harm.

I am also working on a collaboration with igraph and Women in Network Science to study leadership in open-source communities. We are trying to examine longevity of open-source projects and how moderators can support underrepresented coders.

Before coming to Northeastern I received a Bachelors in Psychology and a minor in Art from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. At UW-Madison I investigated internal bias interventions, stereotyping and the relationship between bilingualism, semantic networks and creativity. Most recently I was a lab manager for a cognitive neuroscience lab at Penn State. At Penn State I studied cross-situational word learning and how people learn from linguistic Networks.
