I’m a Ph.D. student at Stanford School of Communication. My passion is to leverage machine learning to better understand, predict, and identify intervention opportunities for mental wellbeing-related issues through media usage and mobile sensing data.

Prior to my Ph.D. journey, I worked as a forensics data scientist developing fraud and bribery detection solutions. My educational background is in behavioral economics and machine learning.
