PhD
I'm a digital media scholar whose work focuses on the social, aesthetic, political, and public impacts of apps and web platforms. I study livestreaming, television, video games, and internet culture.
I successfully defended my dissertation in December 2024. I was an Annenberg Endowed Fellow in cinema and media studies in the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California from 2024-2025.
My interdisciplinary dissertation, “We’re All Streamers Now,” focused on the uses and transformations of livestreaming platforms on over the past two decades.
I received my MA in cinema and media studies from USC and my BA in anthropology from the University at Buffalo. Before academia, I spent several years working in the nonprofit sector.
