  <section>
	  <p>I am an Applied Scientist at <a href="https://alethea.com/">Alethea</a>. Before, I was a postdoc at George Washington University's <a href="https://iddp.gwu.edu/">Institute for Data, Democracy & Politics</a>, working with <a href="https://iddp.gwu.edu/matthew-hindman">Matthew Hindman</a> and <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/andrew-i-thompson">Andrew Ifedapo Thompson</a>. My research focuses on developing methods for accurately measuring and describing online social behaviors. I received my Ph.D. from Northeastern University’s <a href="http://networkscienceinstitute.org">Network Science Institute</a> in 2022, where I was advised by <a href="http://lazerlab.net/">David Lazer</a>. I received my master's degree from George Mason University’s <a href="http://css.gmu.edu">Department of Computational Social Science</a>, where I was advised by <a href="http://css1.gmu.edu/~axtell/Rob/Home.html">Rob Axtell</a>. In Summer 2020, I was a research intern at Microsoft Research, working with <a href="https://researchdmr.com/">David Rothschild</a>.</p>
    <p>My CV can be found <a href="files/cv.pdf">here</a>, and my resume can be found <a href="files/resume.pdf">here</a>.</p>
