Background
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
As a PhD researcher for Syracuse University's School of Information Studies, I delve into the information field with a specific interest for crisis informatics, online communities, research ethics and network analysis. I have been involved and am currently involved in labs that focus on information curation, political communication and belief change. This academic experience is enriched with my former industry background in Management Consulting (Cyber Security Transformation) and Risk Consulting (Technology Assurance) for a Big 4 consulting firm.
