I am an inquisitive, self-motivated, and passionate researcher who focuses on building skills to analyze digital media content creators and social media platforms. Throughout my education, my graduate research has focused on platform user interfaces, online communities, convergence culture, and influencer credibility by using both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to understand the full picture of the digital media ecosystem. My current position allows me to utilize the humanities skills of media studies with that of computational research methods and data analytics to understand the nuances of the various social media and digital media platforms.
