I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Informatics Department of the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. My advisor is Alfred Kobsa and I study Privacy and Location-Sharing Social Media. My general interests are in the areas of Social Informatics, Human-Computer Interaction and Computer-Supported Cooperative Work.

Before coming to UCI, I worked in industry as a product manager and prior to that, as lead interaction designer. I worked on enterprise solutions to information risk problems for distributed, mobile work teams. I have experience working with customers, engaging in field work with end-users, driving the design process and managing the product requirements as product owner using an interdisciplinary approach.
