I’m interested in systems of justice, tech policy, cybersecurity, disinformation, governance, and human-centered design. My projects, research, and commentary have appeared in several outlets including the Washington Post, the New York Times, NBC News, Foreign Affairs, Brookings, and the Nightly News with Lester Holt.

Some of the projects I’m most proud of are PrivacySpy, Shynet, PolitiTweet, my work with Prof. Sarah Kreps at her Tech Policy Lab, my work at the Stanford Internet Observatory, and a17t. And finally, for the obligatory apostrophe soup: PA ’19, RC S1 ’20, Stanford ’24, EOT. More details are in my portfolio.

Currently

I’m currently in Zoom School—erm, I mean college—and am enjoying my courses, even if I’m missing out on much of the college experience. I’m in Charleston, South Carolina.
