I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Media, Technology, and Society Program in the School of Communication at Northwestern University, and a member of Dr. Eszter Hargittai’s Web Use Project research group. My research interests focus on identity formation and gender performance in mediated contexts. My previous education includes a Bachelor of Arts in Classics from the University of British Columbia, and a Master of Science in Higher Education Policy degree from the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University.
