I am a PhD student at UM’s School of Information with research interests in community health informatics, human-computer interaction, and computer-supported cooperative work. I have been working on identifying how technology, especially AI/LLM-driven applications, can support social needs assessment and referral processes in the safety net and human service settings in Michigan. Previously, I have written and researched in the space of substance use and HIV prevention, including applying feminist theories to design a mobile app for overdose reversals in Philadelphia and community-based participatory research to improve HIV preventive outcomes among LGBTQ communities in China.
