Bio_

Broadly my work looks at what it means to be data-driven. I recently completed a computing innovation fellowship working on a relational environmental data justice project in the Boston area. My dissertation research examines what it means/takes to become data-driven smart city; I trace transformations in the labor of civil service, the experience of city living, the aesthetic contours of the urban, and the normalization of surveillance and the consequences for minoritized communities. During this study I also supported local community organizing efforts on housing justice and against surveillance and related carceral violences in Los Angeles and Long Beach, CA.

My general research & creative practices surround: feminist science and technology studies; cultural geography; participatory ethnography; design; abolitionist imagination; disability and housing justice; queer theory; and narrative media / illustration.

I am also an artist and freelance designer, a prolific napper / audiobooker (often an audiobook-napper), an adequate cat dad to Merope (aka Mumi), and in my free time I theoretically enjoy playing soccer, printmaking and watercolor, learning piano, and looking around / photographing city streets and naturey spaces.
