I study the collective and communicative practices on social media and how these acts uphold or challenge the dominant narratives, power hierarchies, and hegemonic ideologies, with a specific concentration on race and ethnicity. I operate on an interdisciplinary approach to my research; currently, most of my work investigates online communities and their racial discourses mostly in a computational fashion, but I also enjoy working on my research questions qualitatively and conceptually.
I have accumulated a rich experience during my previous academic and professional experience. My research mainly focused on library science during my undergradaute study. During my master's program, I conducted numerous independent reserach projects with a focus on tracking, modeling, and understanding online communities using data mining approaches. After my graduation, my jobas a data scientist in non-profit research orginations and universities gave me an unique exposure to social sciences research, such as public health and criminal justice.
