I’m a Ph.D. candidate at Stanford Department of Communication. My passion is to study people’s everyday behavior and its relationship to mental well-being 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.
